Burgundian Carol-Joan Baez

[00:34.47]The winter season of the year [00:36.87]When to this world Our Lord was born [00:48.30]The ox and donkey, so they say, [00:57.84]Did keep His Holy Presence warm. [00:59.07]How many oxen and donkeys now [01:07.92]If they were there when first He came [01:08.61]How many oxen and donkeys you know [01:15.72]At such a time would do the same? [01:16.29]And on that night it has been told [01:20.73]These humble beasts so rough and rude [02:01.41]Throughout the night of Holy Birth [02:02.01]Drank no water, ate no food. [02:23.55]How many oxen and donkeys now [02:30.36]Dressed in ermine, silk and such, [02:39.63]How many oxen and donkeys you know [03:16.83]At such a time would do as much? [03:17.40]As soon as to these humble beasts [03:18.09]Appeared Our Lord, so mild and sweet [03:36.66]With joy they knelt before His Grace [03:51.09]And gently kissed His tiny feet [03:51.78]Would we like oxen and donkeys then [03:59.37]In spite of all the things be heard [04:00.75]Would we like oxen and donkeys then [04:18.57]We'd hear the truth, believe His word?
