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.
|
|
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
|
Father Lord, Almighty,
|
Jesus Christ.
|
|
Enough for Him, whom Cherubim
|
Worship night and day,
|
A breastful of milk,
|
And a mangerful of hay;
|
Enough for Him, whom Angels
|
Fall down before,
|
The ox and ass and camel
|
Which adore.
|
|
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.
