- In the bleak mid-winter
-
- 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 I can I give Him -
- Give my heart.
-
- Christina Georgina Rossetti.
