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 s___gy and brown,
"I carried his mother up hill and down
I carried him safely to Bethlehem town"
"I," said the donkey, s___gy 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 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 remembering it well
In the stable dark were glad to tell
Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel
Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel
