[00:13.80]In the bleak mid-winter frosty wind made moan,
[00:24.31]Earth stood hard as iron,water like a stone.
[00:35.32]Snow had fallen, snow on snow,snow on snow,
[00:46.41]In the bleak mid-winter long ago.
[00:57.33]Our God, heaven cannot hold Him nor earth sustain,
[01:08.84]Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
[01:19.29]In the bleak mid-winter a stable-place sufficed,
[01:30.66]The Lord God Almighty —Jesus Christ.
[01:41.75]Angels and Archangels may have gathered there,
[01:52.55]Cherubim and Seraphim thronged the air.
[02:03.38]But only his mother in her maiden bliss,
[02:14.62]Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
[03:09.88]What can I give Him,poor as I am,
[03:20.71]If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb.
[03:31.33]If I were a wise man I would do my part,
[03:42.30]Yet what I can I give Him, —give my heart.
