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
|
|
Angels and archangels
|
May have gathered there
|
Cherubim and seraphim
|
Thronged the air
|
|
But his mother only
|
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 give a lamb
|
If I were a wise man
|
I would do my part
|
Yet what I can I give him?
|
Give my heart
|
