[Verse 1: Wilder Adkins]
In the bleak mid-winter
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 mid-winter
Long ago

[Verse 2: Wilder Adkins with Kaylor Otwell]
Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty
Jesus Christ

[Verse 3: Wilder Adkins with Kaylor Otwell]
Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But only His Mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the Beloved
With a kiss
[Verse 4: Wilder Adkins with Kaylor Otwell]
What can I give Him
Poor as I am?
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb
And if I were a Wise Man
I would do my part
Yet what I can give Him
Give my heart
