Intro

In the bleak mid - winter, icy wind made moan

Angels and arch - angels, may have gathered there.

What then can I give Him, empty as I am

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone

Cherubim and seraphim rising in the air.

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb

Snow on snow had fall - en, snow on snow on snow

Oh but only Ma - ry in her maiden bliss

If I were a wise - man, I would know my part

Worshipped the beloved with a mother's kiss.

Heaven cannot hold Him, nor can earth sustain

Heaven and earth shall fall away when He comes to reign

What then can I give Him; I must give my heart
