In the Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter Icy wind made moan Earth stood hard as iron Water like a stone Snow on snow had fallen Snow on snow on snow In the bleak midwinter, long and long ago Angels and archangels May have gathered there Cherubim and seraphim rising in the air Oh, but only Mary, in her maiden bliss Worshipped the beloved with a mother's kiss Heaven cannot hold Him, nor can earth sustain Heaven and earth shall fall away when He comes to reign What then can I give Him, empty as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb If I were a Wise Man, I know do my part What then can I give Him? I must give my heart
