Jesus Our Brother Strong and Good

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls #135 (1936) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Jesus our brother strong and good Was humbly born in a stable rude, And the friendly beasts around him stood, Jesus our brother strong and good. 2 I, said the donkey shaggy and brown, I carried his mother uphill and down, I carried his mother to Bethlehem town, I said the donkey shaggy and brown. 3 I said the cow all white and red, I gave him my manger for his bed, I gave him hay to pillow his head, I, said the cow all white and red. 4 I, said the sheep with curly horn, I gave him my wool for his blanket warm, He wore my coat on Christmas morn, I, said the sheep with curly horn. 5 I, said the dove from the rafters high, Cooed him to sleep that he should not cry; We cooed him to sleep, my mate and I, I, said the dove, from the rafters high. 6 And every beast by some good spell, In the stable dark were glad to tell Of the gift he gave to Immanuel, Of the gift he gave to Immanuel.

Person Name: Anon. Translator of "The Friendly Beasts" in The United Methodist Hymnal In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
