Jesus our brother, strong and good | |
Was humbly born in a stable rude | |
And the friendly beasts around | |
Him stoodJesus our brother, strong and good"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown"I carried His mother up hill and downI 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 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 |
