The Gifts They Gave |
| 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 His mother to Bethlehem town |
| I said, the donkey, shaggy and brown |
| I said, the sheep with curly horn |
| I gave Him my wool for a blanket warm |
| He wore my coat on Christmas morn |
| I said, the sheep with curly horn |
| I said, the dove from the rafters high |
| I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry |
| We cooed Him to sleep my love and I |
| I said, the dove from rafters high |
| Thus, every beast by some good spell |
| In the stable dark was glad to tell |
| Of the gift he gave Emmanuel |
| Of the gift he gave Emmanuel |
