Music & Lyrics: Traditional English Carol

"JESUS OUR SAVIOUR"

Jesus, our Savior, kind and good,
Was humbly born in a stable rude,
And the friendly beasts around Him stood,
Jesus, our Savior, 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.

[Repeat First Verse]

"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 so He would not cry,
We cooed Him to sleep, my mate and I,"
"I", said the dove from the rafters high.

[Repeat First Verse]

Jesus, our Savior, kind and good
Jesus, our Savior, kind and good.
