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,

Chrubim and seraphim Thronged the air.

Worshiped the beloved With a kiss.

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.
