Christina Rossetti
In the Bleak Midwinter
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

Our God, 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

What can I give Him
Poor as I am
If I were a Shepherd
I would bring a lamb
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give Him
Give Him my heart
