1) 
Here’s a story I was told 
About a Christmas long ago 
When Jesus came into this world 
Like any other boy or girl 

2) 
Animals were gathered round 
Where a light was shining down 
By a manger through the night 
Their voices sang about the light 

Chorus: 
The animals they all did sing 
It was the world’s first caroling 
They sang together full of grace 
While the light shown on their face 

3) 
Angels joined from up above 
Their harmonies filled with love 
A smile grew on Jesus’s face 
The barn became a holy place 

4) 
Their voices rang so pure and true 
The cow, the sheep, and donkey too 
I for one I do believe 
This happened that first Christmas Eve
