In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan, 在萧瑟的隆冬，霜冻风言的呻吟声，

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; 地球站在坚硬如铁，水像一块石头;

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, 雪已经下降，雪雪，雪雪，

In the bleak midwinter, long ago. 在萧瑟的隆冬，很久以前。

   

Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; 我们的上帝，天上不能抱他，也不​​地球维持;

Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign. 天地要逃跑时，他来统治。

In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed 在萧瑟的隆冬一个稳定的地方就够了

The lord God almighty, jesus christ. 耶和华万军之神，耶稣基督。

   

Angels and archangels may have gathered there, 天使与大天使可能已经聚集在那里，

Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; 基路伯和塞拉芬聚集在空气中;

But his mother only, in her maiden bliss, 但是，只有他的母亲，在她的少女的幸福，

Worshiped the beloved with a kiss. 崇拜心爱的一个吻。

   

What can I give him, poor as I am? 我可以给他，可怜的是我？

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; 如果我是一个牧羊人，我会带上一只羊羔;

If I were a wise man, I would do my part; 如果我是一个聪明的人，我会尽我的一部分;

Yet what I can I give him: give my heart. 可是我，我可以给他：给我的心脏。
