| |
| − | | |
| − | :In the bleak midwinter, frost 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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :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.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
| |
| − | :cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
| |
| − | :but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
| |
| − | :worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
| |
| − | | |
| − | :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.
