The Weavers - Burgundian Carol lyrics
rate meThe winter season of the year<br />
When to this world our Lord was born<br />
The ox and donkey, so they say<br />
Did keep his holy presence warm<br />
How many oxen and donkeys now<br />
If they were there when first he came<br />
How many oxen and donkeys you know<br />
At such a time would do the same?<br />
<br />
And on that night it has been told<br />
These humble beasts so rough and rude<br />
Throughout the noght of holy birth<br />
Drank no water, ate no food<br />
How many oxen and donkeys now<br />
If they were there when first he came<br />
How many oxen and donkeys you know<br />
At such a time would do the same?<br />
<br />
As soon as to these humble beasts<br />
Appeared our Lord, so mild and sweet<br />
With joy they knelt before his Grace<br />
And gently kissed His tiny feet<br />
How many oxen and donkeys now<br />
Dressed in ermine, silk and such<br />
How many oxen and donkeys you know<br />
At such a time would do as much?
