Traditional Hymn

lyrics

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, all shaggy and brown.
“I carried His mother both uphill and down.
I carried His mother to Bethlehem town.”
“I,” Said the donkey all 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 the curly horn
I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm.
He wore my coat on Christmas morn.”
“I,” Said the sheep with the curly horn.

“I,” Said the dove from the 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 the rafters high.

Thus all the beasts by some good spell
In the stable dark were glad to tell
Of the gifts they gave Emmanuel.
The gifts they gave Emmanuel.
