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.
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
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.
