Lyrics
Verse 1 In the bleak midwinter frosty winds 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. Verse 2 Our God, Heav'n cannot hold him nor earth sustain; Heav'n and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: In the bleak midwinter astable place sufficed. The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ. Verse 3 Enough for him, whom cherubim worship night and day, A breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay: Enough for him, whom angels fall down before, The ox and ass and camel which adore. 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. Give my heart.
