In The Bleak Midwinter |
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 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. |
Enough for Him, Whom cherubim, worship night and day, |
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay; |
Enough for Him, Whom angels fall before, |
The ox and ass and camel which adore. |
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. |
