| Verse 1. |
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.
|
Verse 2. |
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him,
Nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall fly away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak mid winter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty,
Jesus Christ. |
| Verse 3. |
Angels and archangels,
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim,
Thronged the air,
But His mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshiper the Beloved,
With a kiss. |
Verse 4. |
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. |
