| Jesus our brother, strong and good
|
| Was humbly born in a stable rude
|
| And 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 bed
|
| I gave Him my hay to pillow His head»
|
| «I,» said the cow, all white and red
|
| «I,» said the sheep with curly horn
|
| «I gave Him my wool for His 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 so that He would not cry
|
| We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I»
|
| «I,» said the dove from the rafters high
|
| Thus every beast by some good spell
|
| In the stable dark was glad to tell
|
| Of the gift they gave Emmanuel
|
| The gift they gave Emmanuel |
