D5                B5          G5                   A5
In the bleak mid  -  winter,  icy   wind   made    moan
Angels  and  arch - angels,   may have gathered there.
What then can I   give Him ,   empty   as    I    am

D5                    B5         G5      A5       D5
Earth stood hard as iron,      water  like a stone
Cherubim      and      seraphim rising in the air.
If   I   were   a   shepherd,  I would bring a lamb
                  
E5           F#5 G5    A5    B5     E5       A5 A5
Snow on snow had fall  -  en,  snow on snow on snow
Oh   but   only   Ma  -  ry    in her maiden  bliss
If  I  were   a  wise  -  man, I would know my part

       Worshipped the beloved with a mother's kiss.

Heaven cannot hold Him , nor can earth sustain
