What a lovely carol, new to me and beautifully performed! Hard to hear all the words, however.

Lyrics, sourced from Worcester College and Stephen Farr's "This Christmas Night" (Resonus Classics):
As Joseph was a-walking
He heard an Angel sing:
“This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King;
He neither shall be born
In housen nor in hall,
Nor in the place of Paradise, But in an ox’s stall.”
Noel, Noel, Noel.
As Joseph was a-walking
He heard an Angel sing:
“This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King;
He neither shall be clothed
In in purple nor in pall,
But all in fair linen
As wear babies all.”
Noel, Noel, Noel.
As Joseph was a-walking
He heard an Angel sing:
“This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King;
He neither shall be rocked
In silver nor in gold,
But in a wooden cradle
That rocks on the mold.” Noel, Noel, Noel.
As Joseph was a-walking
He heard an Angel sing:
“This night there shall be born Our Heavenly King;
He neither shall be christened In white wine nor in red,
But in the fair spring water
As we were christened.”
Noel, Noel, Noel.
