Ah, bleak and chill the wintry wind
But colder far be he
Who hath no warmth of love to share
With Christ the babe that Mary bare
On His nativity, on His nativity

Dark, dark the night when Christ was born
But deeper shadows be
Within the heart that has no joy
With Mary and her heavenly boy
On His nativity, on His nativity

Peace be to them, and right good cheer
Who carol merrily
And hie them forth when church bells ring
To kneel before their newborn King
On His nativity, on His nativity
