Jesus Our Brother Strong and Good

Author: Anonymous Meter: Irregular Appears in 33 hymnals 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.

Lo! He sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ has burst the gates of hell. Death in vain forbids his rise; Christ has opened paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious king! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once he died our souls to save; Where thy victory, O grave? 5 Hail the Lord of earth and heav'n! Praise to thee by both be giv'n. Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the resurrection, thou! 6 King of glory, soul of bliss, Everlasting life is this: Thee to know, thy pow'r to prove, Thus to sing, and thus to love!

Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv'n, Reascends his native heav'n. 2 There the glorious triumph waits: Lift your heads, eternal gates, He hath conquered death and sin; Take the King of glory in! 3 See, the heav'n its Lord receives, Yet He loves the earth He leaves; Though returning to His throne, Still He calls mankind His own. 4 See He lifts His hands above; See, He shows the prints of love. Hark! His gracious lips bestow Blessings on His church below. 5 Still for us He intercedes, His prevailing death He pleads, Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 6 There we shall with Thee remain Partners of Thy endless reign, There Thy face unclouded see, Find our heav'n of heav'ns in Thee.
