==Lyrics==
: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.
: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.
: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.
