The Friendly Beasts |
| 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 |
