The Friendly Beasts Lyrics
Jesus our brother kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable rude
The friendly beasts around him stood
Jesus our brother kind and good
A brilliant star shone through the night
And filled the world with wondrous light
While friendly beasts stayed by his side
A brilliant star shone through the night
“I,” Said the donkey, all shaggy and brown
“I carried His mother uphill and down
I carried her safely 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 a 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 a 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 wouldn’t cry
We cooed him to sleep my mate and I”
“I,” Said the dove from the rafters high
Every beast by some good spell
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gifts they gave Emanuel
The gifts they gave Emanuel
Was humbly born in a stable rude
The friendly beasts around him stood
Jesus our brother kind and good
And filled the world with wondrous light
While friendly beasts stayed by his side
A brilliant star shone through the night
“I carried His mother uphill and down
I carried her safely to Bethlehem town”
“I,” Said the donkey all shaggy and brown
“I gave Him my manger, for a bed
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head”
“I,” Said the cow, all white and red
I gave Him my wool for a blanket warm
He wore my coat on Christmas morn”
“I,” Said the sheep with the curly horn
I cooed him to sleep so he wouldn’t cry
We cooed him to sleep my mate and I”
“I,” Said the dove from the rafters high
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gifts they gave Emanuel
The gifts they gave Emanuel
