As Joseph was a-walking
He heard an Angel sing:
"This night shall be the birth time
Our gracious Heavenly King;

He neither shall be born
In housen nor in hall
Nor in the place of Paradise
But in an ox's stall."

Hllelujah!

"He neither shall be clothed
In purple nor in pall;
But all in fair white linen
As wear sweet babies all

He neither shall be rocked
In silver nor in gold;
But in a wooden cradle
That rocks upon the mould

"He neither shall be christen's
In white wine nor in red;
But with the fair spring water
With which we were christ'ned."

As Joseph was a-walking
He heard an Angel sing:
"This night shall be the birth time
Our gracious Heavenly King;

Hllelujah!

Annie Lennox

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
