The Friendly Beast Lyrics

Jesus our brother kind and good

Was humbly born I a stable of wood

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 and down

I carried her safely to Bethlehem town

"I" said the donkey shaggy and brown 

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 

"I" said the sheep with a curly horn

I gave him my wool for his blanket warm

And he wore my coat on that Christmas morn

"I" said the sheep with a curly horn 

"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 camel yellow and black 

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
