E             C#m           F#m          B7
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
E                    C#m    F#m    B7     E
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
A                          E               B7
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,
E                C#m      F#m B7 E
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
     
E                           C#m    F#m        B7
Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
E                      C#m         F#m      B7       E
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
A                     E                  B7
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
    E           C#m      F#m  B7  E
The lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
    
E                  C#m   F#m    B7
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
E                  C#m   F#m    B7    E
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
A                   E       B7
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
    D         Bm|EmA7D| 
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
    
E            C#m  F#m B7
What can I give him, poor as I am?
E                 C#m   F#m  B7      E
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
A                 E         B7     
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.
