The Friendly Beasts |
| Jesus our brother kind and good |
| Was humbly born in a stable of wood |
| And the friendly beasts around him stood |
| Jesus our brother kind and good |
| «I» said the donkey shaggy and brown |
| I carried his mother up hill and down |
| I carried him safely to Bethlehem town |
| «I» said the donkey shaggy and brown |
| And «I» said the cow all white and red |
| I gave him my manger for a bed |
| I gave him my hay for to pillow his head |
| «I» said the cow all white and red |
| «I» said the sheep with a curly horn |
| I have him my wool for his blanket warm |
| And he wore my coat on that Christmas morn |
| «I» said the sheep with a curly horn |
| «I» said the dove from the rafters high |
| Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry |
| We cooed him to sleep my love and I |
| «I» said the dove from the rafters high |
| And «I» said the camel all yellow and black |
| Over the desert upon my back |
| I brought him a gift in the wise men’s pack |
| «I» said the camel all yellow and black |
| Thus every beast remembering it well |
| In the stable dark was so proud to tell |
| Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel |
| The gifts that they gave Emmanuel |
