Jesus,
our brother, kind and good,
Was humbly born in a stable room,
And the friendly beasts
around him stood,
Jesus our brother, kind and good.
I said the donkey, shaggy and brown,
I carried his mother up hill an d down,
I carried her safely to Bethlehem town.
I set the donkey shaggy and brown,
I set the cow all white and red.
I gave him my manger for his bed,
I gave him my hay to pillow his head.
I set the cow a -white and red,
I set the sheep with curly horn,
I gave him my wool for his blanket warm,
He wore my coat on Christmas morn,
I set the sheep with curly horn,
I set the camel yellow an d black.
Over the desert, upon my back,
I brought him a gift in
the wise man's pack.
I set the camel yellow and black.
So every beast by some good spell
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gift He gave Emmanuel
The gift He gave Emmanuel
The gift He gave Im manuel
