Bring me flesh and bring me wine Pleased as man with men to dwell

Through the rude wind's wild lament Hail the heav'n born Prince of Peace
And the bitter weather Hail the Sun of righteousness
Light and life to all He brings

Sire the night is darker now Mild He lays His glory by
And the wind blows stronger Born that man no more may die
Fails my heart I know not how Born to raise the sons of earth
I can go no longer Born to give them second birth
Mark my footsteps my good page Hark the herald angels sing
Tread thou in them boldly Glory to the newborn King
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
