1
Jesus our brother, strong and good
2
Was humbly born in a stable rude
3
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
4
Jesus our brother, strong and good
5
"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
6
"I carried His mother up hill and down
7
I carried His mother to Bethlehem townâ€
8
"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
9
"I," said the cow, all white and red
10
"I gave Him my manger for His bed
11
I gave Him my hay to pillow His headâ€
12
"I," said the cow, all white and red
13
"I," said the sheep with curly horn
14
"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
15
He wore my coat on Christmas morn'â€
16
"I," said the sheep with curly horn
17
"I," said the dove from rafters high
18
"I cooed Him to sleep so He would not cry
19
We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I"
20
"I," said the dove from rafters high
21
Thus every beast by some good spell
22
In the stable dark was glad to tell
23
Of the gifts he gave Emmanuel
24
Of the gifts he gave Emmanuel
