D             Bm           Em          A7
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
D                    Bm    Em    A7     D
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
G                          D               A7
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,
D                Bm      Em A7 D
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
     
D                           Bm    Em        A7
Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
D                      Bm         Em      A7       D
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
G                     D                  A7
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
    D           Bm      Em  A7  D
The lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
    
D                  Bm   Em    A7
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
D                  Bm   Em    A7    D
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
G                   D       A7
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
    D         Bm|EmA7D| 
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
    
D            Bm  Em A7
What can I give him, poor as I am?
D                 Bm   Em  A7      D
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
G                 D         A7     
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;
    D         Bm   Em|A7D| 
Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
