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
sustainHeaven and earth shall flee away,When
He comes to reign.

In the bleak midwinterA stable place
sufficed.The Lord God almighty,Jesus Christ.
23
Angels and archangels,May have gathered
there.Cherubim and seraphimthronged the air -
24
But His mother only,In her maiden
bliss.Worshipped the Beloved With a kiss.
25
What can I give Him,Poor as I am?If I were a
shepherdI would bring a Lamb.
26
If I were a wise manI would do my part.Yet what
I can, I give Him Give my heart.
