In the Deep Midwinter Lyrics

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, long ago

Angels and Archangels may have gathered there

Cherubim and Seraphim thronged in the air

But His Mother only in her maiden bliss

Worshiped the Beloved with a kiss

Heaven cannot hold Him nor the earth sustain

Heaven and earth shall welcome Him when He comes to reign

In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

For the Lord God, Incarnate Jesus Christ

What then shall 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 shall I give Him - I will give my heart
