The Friendly Beasts

Jesus our brother kind and good

Was humbly born in a stable rude

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 my 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 the curly horn

I gave him my wool for a blanket warm

He wore my coat on christmas morn

I said the sheep with the curly horn

I said the dove from the rafters high

I cooed him to sleep he should not cry

We cooed him to sleep my may and i

I said the dove from the rafters high

Jesus our brother kind and good

Was humbly born in a stable rude

And the friendly beasts around him stood

Jesus our brother kind and good
