Tekst In The Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter
In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moon,
Earth stood hard as iron. Water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.

Angels and archangels May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air: But
Only his mother In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved With a kiss.

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.
