lyrics

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan;
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
Snow on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.

Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor the earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall welcome Him
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak midwinter
A stable-place sufficed
For the Lord God Incarnate —
Jesus Christ.

Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Gathered in the air;
But His mother only
In her maiden bliss
She worshiped the Beloved
Only with a kiss.

What then shall I give Him,
Poor as I am? —
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part, —
What then shall I give Him, —
Well, I will give my heart.
