It emphasizes that even the poorest can offer their heart to Christ, as the wise men brought gifts and shepherds brought lambs.

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 midwinter, long ago
Heaven cannot hold Him, nor the earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall flee away, when He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter, stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring Him lamb
If I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him, give my heart
If I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what I can I give Him, give my heart
