Full Lyrics
Verse 1
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,
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 a stable 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
Angels and archangels may have gathered there
Cherubim and Seraphim thronged the air
But only His Mother in her maiden bliss
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
Verse 5
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.
