In the Bleak Midwinter - Aled Jones

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.

Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain

Heav’n and earth shall flee away, when He comes to reign

In the bleak mid-winter a stable-place sufficed

Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day,

A 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.

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 I can I give Him, give my heart
