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
|
