Lyrics: The Gifts They Gave (Remastered)
Jesus our brother, kind & good
Was humbly born in a stable of wood
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
Jesus our brother kind & good
I, said the donkey, shaggy & brown
I carried His Mother up hill & down
I carried His Mother to Bethlehem town
I, said the donkey, shaggy & 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 & 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 gift he gave Emanuel
Of the gift he gave Emanuel
Was humbly born in a stable of wood
And the friendly beasts around Him stood
Jesus our brother kind & good
I, said the donkey, shaggy & brown
I carried His Mother up hill & down
I carried His Mother to Bethlehem town
I, said the donkey, shaggy & 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 & 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 gift he gave Emanuel
Of the gift he gave Emanuel
