lyrics
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim rising in the air;
but his mother Mary, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
Heaven cannot hold him, nor can earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall fall away when he reigns.
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;
What then can I give him: I will give my heart.
