In The Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, frosted wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, the Earth laid bare and low
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, the stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ

And in this bleak midwinter
You are the light bringing dead things back to life
And in this bleak midwinter
You are my hope that the spring is gonna come
And in this bleak midwinter
You are the light bringing dead things back to life
And in this bleak midwinter
You promise me that the spring is on its way

What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring Him no lamb
And if I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what I have I give Him, give my heart
