In the bleak midwinter
frost wind made moan
earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone
snow had fallen snow on snow
snow on snow
in the bleak midwinter
long ago Our God
heaven cannot hold him
nor earth sustain
heaven and earth shall flee away
when he comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
For the Lord God
Almighty Jesus Christ
Angels and archangels
may have gathered there
cherubim and seraphim
Gather thronged the air
but his mother only
in her maiden bliss
worshiped the beloved
On the with a kiss
What can 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
yet what I can I give him
I will give my heart
