The Friendly Beasts |
| Jesus our brother, |
| Strong and good |
| Was humbly borne in a stable rude |
| And the friendly beasts |
| — the friendly beasts |
| Around Him stood |
| Jesus our brother strong and good. |
| «I,» said the donkey shaggy and brown |
| «I carried his mother up hill and down |
| I carried his mother to Bethlehem town. |
| I,» said the donkey shaggy and brown. |
| «I,» said the cow all white and red |
| «I gave him my manger for his head |
| I gave him my hay to pillow his head |
| Oh I,» said the cow all white and red. |
| «I,» said the sheep with the curly horn |
| «I gave him my wool for his blanket warm |
| He wore my coat on Christmas morn |
| Oh I,» said the sheep with the curly horn. |
| «I,» said the dove from rafters high |
| We cooed him to sleep my mate and I |
| We cooed him to sleep my mate and I |
| Oh I," said the dove from rafters high |
| And every beast by some good spell |
| In the stable dark was glad to tell |
| Of the gift he gave Emmanuel |
| The gift he gave Emmanuel. |
