NB. The fourth stanza is omitted in the Darke setting.
 
::::''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.
 
::::''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.
 
::::''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.
 
::::''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.
 
::::''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.
