{{Vs|1}} In the bleak midwinter frosty winds made moan, | |||
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; | |||
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, | |||
In the bleak midwinter long ago. | |||
{{Vs|2}} Our God, Heav'n cannot hold him nor earth sustain; | |||
{{ | Heav'n and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: | ||
In the bleak midwinter astable place sufficed. | |||
The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ. | |||
{{Vs|3}} Enough for him, whom cherubim worship night and day, | |||
A breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay: | |||
: | Enough for him, whom angels fall down before, | ||
The ox and ass and camel which adore. | |||
{{Vs|4}} 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. | |||
{{Vs|5}} 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.}} | |||

{{Translation|German| | |||
{{Vs|1}} Mitten im kalten Winter heulte frostiger Wind. | |||
Die Erde hart wie Eisen und Wasser wie ein Stein. | |||
Schnee war gefallen, Schnee auf Schnee, Schnee auf Schnee; | |||
mitten im kalten Winter jener Zeit. | |||
{{Vs|2}} Unsern Herrn hält nicht der Himmel noch trägt ihn die Welt. | |||
Himmel und Erde werden vergehen, wenn seine Herrschaft kommt. | |||
Mitten im kalten Winter genügte ihm ein Stall, | |||
dem allmächtgen Herrn und Gott, Jesus Christus. | |||
: | {{Vs|3}} Genug für ihn, dem Kerubim Tag und Nacht singen: | ||
Eine Brust Milch und eine Krippe Heu. | |||
Genug für ihn, vor dem Engel niederfallen: | |||
: | Der Ochs, der Esel und das Kamel beten an. | ||
{{Vs|5}} Was kann ich ihm geben, arm, wie ich bin? | |||
Wäre ich ein Hirte, brächte ich ein Lamm; | |||
wäre ich ein Weiser, täte ich mein Teil. | |||
Doch was ich kann, das gebe ich ihm: mein Herz.}} | |||
