[00:06.16]the friendly beasts
[00:10.02]
[00:12.70]Jesus our brother, strong and good
[00:18.25]Was humbly born in a stable rood
[00:24.15]And the friendly beasts around Him stood
[00:30.57]Jesus our brother, strong and good
[00:43.71]
[00:44.60]"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
[00:48.97]"I carried His mother up hill and down
[00:54.84]I carried His mother to Bethlehem town"
[01:01.40]"I," said the donkey, shaggy and brown
[01:13.04]
[01:14.10]"I," said the cow, all white and red
[01:19.62]"I gave Him my manger for His bed
[01:25.68]I gave Him my hay to pillow His head"
[01:31.96]"I," said the cow, all white and red
[01:43.13]
[01:44.53]"I," said the sheep with curly horn
[01:50.18]"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm
[01:55.96]He wore my coat on Christmas morn"
[02:02.59]"I," said the sheep with curly horn
[02:14.55]
[02:15.29]"I," said the dove from the rafters high
[02:20.50]"I cooed Him to sleep so that He would not cry
[02:26.61]We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I"
[02:33.31]"I," said the dove from the rafters high
[02:48.64]
[03:04.06]Thus every beast by some good spell
[03:09.71]In the stable dark was glad to tell
[03:15.89]Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
[03:22.33]of The gift he gave Emmanuel
