The Friendly Beast
Jesus our brother, kind and good
Was humbly born in a stable 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.
"I," said the cow, all white and red
"I gave Him my manger for a bed;
I gave Him my hay to pillow His head."
"I," said the cow, all white and red.
"I," said the sheep with curly horn,
"I gave Him my wool for His blanket warm;
He wore my coat on that 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 the rafters high.
"I," said the camel, yellow and black,
"Over the desert, upon my back,
I brought Him a gift in the Wise Men's pack."
"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
La Bestia Amigable
Jesús nuestro hermano, amable y bueno
Nació humildemente en un establo de madera
Y las bestias amigables a su alrededor se quedaron
Jesús nuestro hermano, amable y bueno.
"Yo", dijo el burro, peludo y marrón,
"Llevé a su madre arriba y abajo por la colina;
La llevé segura a la ciudad de Belén."
"Yo", dijo el burro, peludo y marrón.
"Yo", dijo la vaca, toda blanca y roja
"Le di mi pesebre como cama;
Le di mi heno para que apoyara su cabeza."
"Yo", dijo la vaca, toda blanca y roja.
"Yo", dijo la oveja de cuernos rizados,
"Le di mi lana para su cálida manta;
Él llevó mi abrigo en aquella mañana de Navidad."
"Yo", dijo la oveja de cuernos rizados.
"Yo", dijo la paloma desde lo alto de las vigas,
"Arrullé a dormir para que no llorara;
Lo arrullamos para dormir, mi amor y yo."
"Yo", dijo la paloma desde lo alto de las vigas.
"Yo", dijo el camello, amarillo y negro,
"A través del desierto, sobre mi espalda,
Le llevé un regalo en el paquete de los Reyes Magos."
"Yo", dijo el camello, amarillo y negro.
Así que cada bestia recordándolo bien
En el oscuro establo estaba tan orgullosa de contar
De los regalos que dieron a Emmanuel
Los regalos que dieron a Emmanuel
