In The Bleak Mid Winter

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 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
 the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
 but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
 worshiped the beloved 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: give my heart.
