126 In the Bleak Midwinter
[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 minwinter
Long ago.

Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air.
But His mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped 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 can I give Him?
Give my heart.
