Lyrics

[Verse 1]

In the bleak midwinter

Frosty 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.

[Verse 2]

Our God, Heav'n cannot hold him

Nor earth sustain;

Heav'n and earth shall flee away

When he comes to reign:

In the bleak midwinter

A stable-place sufficed

The Lord God Almighty

— Jesus Christ.

[Verse 3]

Enough for him, whom cherubim

Worship night and day

A breast-ful of milk

And a manger-ful of hay;

Enough for him, whom angels

Fall down before

The ox and ass and camel

Which adore.

[Verse 4]

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.

Give my heart.

Written by: Christina Rossetti, Gustav Holst, Harold Darke, Jefferson McConnaughey
