(12th c. France; English lyrics by Davis and arrangement by Dickinson, 1920)

lyrics

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 shaggy and brown,
I carried His mother up hill and down
I carried her safely to Bethlehem town;
I, said the donkey shaggy 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 camel, yellow and black,
Over the desert, upon my back,
I brought Him a gift in the Wise Men's pack;
I, said the camel, yellow and black.


I, said the dove, from the rafters high,
I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry.
We cooed Him to sleep, my lover and I;
I, said the dove, from the rafters high.


Thus every beast, by some good spell,
In the stable dark was glad to tell
Of the gifts they gave Immanuel;
The gifts they gave Immanuel.
