[Verse 1]

Jesus, our brother kind and good

Was humbly born in a stable of wood

And the friendly beasts around him stood

Jesus our brother kind and good

[Verse 2: Pat Alger]

"I" said the donkey shaggy and brown

I carried his mother up hill and down

I carried him safely to Bethlehem town

"I" said the donkey shaggy and brown

[Verse 3: Stephanie Davis]

And "I" said the cow all white and red

I gave him my manger for a bed

I gave him my hay for to pillow his head

"I" said the cow all white and red

[Verse 4: Larry Bastian]

"I" said the sheep with a curly horn

I have him my wool for his blanket warm

And he wore my coat on that Christmas morn

"I" said the sheep with a curly horn

[Verse 5: Victoria Shaw]

"I" said the dove from the rafters high

Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry

We cooed him to sleep my love and I

"I" said the dove from the rafters high

[Verse 6: Tony Arata]

And "I" said the camel all yellow and black

Over the desert upon my back

I brought him a gift in the wise men's pack

"I" said the camel all yellow and black

[Verse 7]

Thus every beast remembering it well

In the stable dark was so proud to tell

Of the gifts that they gave Emmanuel

The gifts that they gave Emmanuel
