In The Bleak Midwinter

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

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
