Wedeven. The Christmas Crib that Jack Built

The Christmas Crib that Jack Built is a children's book by Carol Wedeven, with art by Nell Fisher, published in 1989. It is available at the Internet Archive.

This book follows the traditional Jack format, starting with short lines, and then shifting into long lines with a repeating rhyme; in this story, the rhyme is -ing, and the story ends with the three kings arriving with their gifts:

These are the kings with three gifts to bring,
That followed the star with rays for a ring,
That shone on the choir God sent to sing,
That scared the lad with flute and sling,
That watched the flock mid thistles that cling,
That covered the hill
That tired the beast
That carried the maid
That bore the babe
That lay in the crib that Zack built.

It's a nice example of a classic Jack format adapted to a different narrative, and thus a good addition to the faith-based books.
