          Bm      A        D
Jesus our brother kind and good
           G         A         Bm
Was humbly born in a stable of wood
    F#m      G       Em        F#
And friendly beasts around him stood
D         Bm      Em       D
Jesus our brother kind and good
[Verse]
             Bm      A          D
"I" said the donkey, shaggy and brown
              G      A           Bm
I carried his mother up hill and down
  F#m         G         Em        F#
I carried him safely to Bethlehem town
 D           Bm      Em       D
"I" said the donkey, shaggy and brown
[Verse]
             Bm          A     D
"I" said the sheep, with curly horn
              G            A       Bm
I have him my wool for his blanket warm
   F#m     G       Em        F#
He wore my coat on Christmas morn
 D           Bm          Em    D
"I" said the sheep, with curly horn
[Verse]
             Bm         A      D
"I" said the dove, from rafter high
             G          A             Bm
Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry
F#m          G        Em       F#
Cooed him to sleep my love and I
 D           Bm         Em     D
"I" said the dove, from rafter high
[Verse]
           Bm        A       D
Thus every beast, by comfort fell
          G         A        Bm
In stable dark, was proud to tell
    F#m     G      Em  F#
The gift he gave Emmanuel
    D       Bm     Em  D
The gift he gave Emmanuel
