In the bleak mid-winter
|
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
|
|
Angels and archangels
|
May have gathered there
|
Cherubim and seraphim
|
Thronged the air
|
But only his mother
|
In her maiden bliss
|
Worshipped 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
|
|
In the bleak mid-winter
|
Frosty wind made moan
|
Earth stood hard as iron
|
Water like a stone
|
If I were a wise man
|
I would do my part
|
Yet what I can I give him?
|
Give my heart
|
