It Came to Pass

[Verse 1]
Well, it came to pass back in those days that Caesar, he decreed
A census should be taken of the Roman world, you see
So everyone packed up and headed back to their hometown
And Joseph, up from Galilee, to Bethlehem was bound

[Verse 2]
And it came to pass this man named Joe was with his fiance
When her pregnancy began to show, he planned to go away
But it came to pass that in a dream, an angel of the Lord
Said, "Joseph, don't you be afraid to marry Mary for
The little baby in her womb, it is the Holy Spirit's work
Wеll, you may have read the prophеt said 'the virgin would give birth'"

[Verse 3]
So it came to pass that Joseph was the noblest of men
With a woman on a donkey on their way to Bethlehem
And I wonder whether either was aware enough that day
To know the child would bring a Kingdom
And the old would come to pass away

[Outro]
Yes, it came to pass that Joseph was the noblest of men
With a woman on a donkey on their way to Bethlehem
