In The Bleak MidWinter |
---|
Lyrics
- In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
- earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
- snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
- in the bleak midwinter, 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 midwinter a stable place sufficed
- the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
- Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
- cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
- but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
- worshipped 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 I can I give him: give my heart.
