The Friendly Beasts
[00:12]Jesus our brother, strong and good
[00:17]Was humbly born in a stable rude
[00:23]And the friendly beasts around him stood
[00:30]Jesus our brother, strong and good
[00:42]“I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown “
[00:48]“I carried his mother up hill and down” “
[00:54]“I carried his mother to Bethlehem town” “
[01:01]“I,” said the donkey, shaggy and brown “
[01:13]“I,” said the cow, all white and red “
[01:19]“I gave him my manger for his bed” “
[01:25]“I gave him my hay to pillow his head” “
[01:31]“I,” said the cow, all white and red “
[01:43]“I,” said the sheep with curly horn “
[01:49]“I gave him my wool for his blanket warm” “
[01:55]“He wore my coat on Christmas morn” “
[02:02]“I,” said the sheep with curly horn “
[02:14]“I,” said the dove from rafters high “
[02:20]“I cooed him to sleep so he would not cry” “
[02:26]“We cooed him to sleep, my mate and I” “
[02:32]“I,” said the dove from rafters high “
[03:03]Thus every beast by some good spell
[03:09]In the stable dark was glad to tell
[03:15]Of the gifts they gave Emmanuel
