-5 -5 5 -5 -5 5 -3* -3
The win-ter sea-son of the year
-5 -5 6 -3 -4 3* -3 -3
When to this world our Lord was born
-3 -3 -3 3 -3 -4 4 4
The ox and don-key, so they say
-3 -3 -2 -3 3 -2 2 -1…
Did keep His ho-ly pres-ence warm
2 2 -2 -2 -2 3 -2 3 -3
How man-y ox-en and don-keys now
-3 -5 -3 -2 3 -2 3 2 -1
If they were there when first He came
2 2 -2 -2 -2 3 -2 -2 3 -3
How man-y ox-en and don-keys you know
-3 -4 4* -5 6 5* -5 -5
At such a time would do the same?

And on that night it has been told
These humble beasts so rough and rude
Throughout the noght of holy birth
Drank no water, ate no food
How many oxen and donkeys now
If they were there when first he came

How many oxen and donkeys you know
At such a time would do the same?

As soon as to these humble beasts
Appeared our Lord, so mild and sweet
With joy they knelt before his Grace
And gently kissed His tiny feet
How many oxen and donkeys now
Dressed in ermine, silk and such,
How many oxen and donkeys you know
At such a time would do as much?
