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 on snow.

In the bleak midwinter, long ago

Interlude

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!

Interlude

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,

but what I can, I give him: I give my heart.
