The Gifts They Gave

Lyrics

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
 I said, the donkey, shaggy and brown
 I carried His mother up hill and down
 I carried His mother to Bethlehem town
 I said, the donkey, shaggy and brown
 ♪
 I said, the sheep with curly horn
 I gave Him my wool for a blanket warm
 He wore my coat on Christmas morn'
 I said, the sheep with curly horn
 ♪
 I said, the dove from the rafters high
 I cooed Him to sleep that He should not cry
 We cooed Him to sleep my love and I
 I said, the dove from rafters high
 ♪
 Thus, every beast by some good spell
 In the stable dark was glad to tell
 Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
 Of the gift he gave Emmanuel
