In the Bleak Mid-Winter

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

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

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 a-ss and camel which adore

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
