| Was humbly born in a stable rude | |
| And the friendly beasts around | |

| I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown" | |
| I," said the cow, all white and red" | |
| I gave Him my manger for | |
| His bedI 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 warmHe wore my coat on Christmas morn'”" | |
| I," said the sheep with curly horn" | |
| I," said the dove from rafters high" | |
| I cooed Him to sleep so | |
| He would not cry | |
| We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and | |
| I""I," said the dove from rafters highThus every beast by some good spellIn the stable dark was glad to tellOf the gifts he gave EmmanuelOf the gifts he gave Emmanuel |
