Lyrics
The wintry season of the year,
When to this world our Lord was born,
The ox and donkey, so they say,
Did keep His Holy Presence warm.

Chorus:
How many oxen and donkeys you know,
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.

(Chorus)

And on that night it had been told,
These humble beasts so rough and rude,
Throughout the night of holy birth,
Drank no water, ate no food.

Chorus:
How many oxen and donkey you know,
Dressed in ermine, silk and such,
How many oxen and donkeys you know
At such a time would do as much?
