[Verse 1]
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, long ago

[Verse 2]
Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter, a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ

[Verse 3]
Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day
Breastful of milk, and a manger full of hay
Enough for Him, whom angels fall down before
The ox and ass and camel which adore

[Verse 4]
Angels and archangels may have gatherеd there
Cherubim and sеraphim thronged the air
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss
