[Verse 1]
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind may moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone

[Verse 2]
Our God, heaven cannot hold him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When he comes to reign

[Chorus]
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, long ago

[Verse 3]
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and Seraphim
Thronged the air

[Bridge]
But only his mother, in her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss
[Verse 4]
In the bleak midwinter
A stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty
Jesus Christ
