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 |
