Because it’s still the bleak mid-winter, this carol seems quite appropriate post-Christmas Day, especially since it references Christ’s Second Coming.
Not only is this a beautiful version of the classic carol – the lyrics are conveniently printed on-screen. So feel free to sing along ~

In the bleak mid-winter, the frosty wind did moan
The earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen softly, snow on snow on snow
In the bleak mid-winter, oh so long ago
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him nor the 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
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but only his mother, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped 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 can I give Him? Give my heart.
