Little donkey, faithfully carry the maid

  Who was visited by angels and carries a Son

One day he will carry the sins of his people

  This night all the angels declare he is born.

​

Chorus:

Little donkey gently walk along the track

He who made the universe is riding on your back.

​

Little donkey carry the child and his family

  Take them safe to Egypt, their guide on the path

One day he'll return to the home of his people

  This night he must flee from the king's jealous wrath

Little donkey...

​

Little donkey carry the family of Jesus

  To the holy city to worship the Lord

One day he'll return in obedience and meekness

  This day he's at home in the temple of God

Little donkey...

​

Little donkey carry the righteous Messiah

  Who comes into Jerusalem showered with praise

One day he'll return to establish his kingdom

  This week he must suffer and die and be raised

Little donkey...
