原始歌词 (English)
In the bleak mid-winter
In the bleak mid-winter,
Frosty wind made moan;
Earth stood hard as iron,
Water like a stone;
Snow on snow had fallen,
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.
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.
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.
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.
