A Christmas Carol
 
 In the bleak mid-winter
 Frosty winds made moan,
 Earth stood hard as iron,
 Water like a stone;
 Snow had fallen, snow on snow,
 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.
 
 A Christmas Fable
 
 What crew the cockerel
 On Christmas morn?
 It crew Christus natus est!
 Loudly Christus natus est!
 Gladly Christus natus est!
 Christ, the Christ is born!
 
 Quando, quando? quacked the duck.
 When, O when? cried she.
 In hac nocte, croacked the raven,
 Humped upon a tree,
 In hac nocte, in hac nocte,
 This very night, quoth he.
 
 Ubi, ubi? lowed the cow,
 Where? she asked of them.
 Ubi, ubi? None could tell,
 Till a little lamb
 Baa'ed out bravely, high and clear,
 Bleated, Bethlehem.
 
 Joyfully the donkey's voice
 Answered lambkin so:
 Eamus! said the ass's bray,
 As all Christian men now say
 Eamus! Let us go.
 
 A Christmas Hymn
 
 A stable-lamp is lighted
 Whose glow shall wake the sky;
 The stars shall bend their voices,
 And every stone shall cry. 
 And every stone shall cry,
 And straw like gold shall shine;
 A barn shall harbor heaven,
 A stall become a shrine.
 
 This child through David's city
 Shall ride in triumph by;
 The palm shall strew its branches,
 And every stone shall cry.
 And every stone shall cry,
 Though heavy, dull, and dumb,
 And lie within the roadway
 To pave His kingdom come.
 
 Yet He shall be forsaken,
 And yielded up to die;
 The sky shall groan and darken,
 And every stone shall cry.
 And every stone shall cry
 For stony hearts of men:
 God's blood upon the spearhead,
 God's love refused again.
 
 But now, as at the ending,
 The low is lifted high;
 The stars shall bend their voices,
 And every stone shall cry.
 And every stone shall cry
 In praises of the child
 By whose descent among us 
 The worlds are reconciled.
