lyrics

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
snow on snow had fallen, snow on snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter, long and long ago.

Angels and archangels must have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim rising in the air;
and oh, the humble Mary, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped her beloved with a mother's kiss.

Alleluia, Christ was born,
Alleluia, that blessed morn,
Earth stood silent for a while,
Just to see the Infant face of God smile.

What then can I bring him, lowly as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
if I were a Wise Man, I would know my part;
what then can I bring him: I will give my heart.
