Lyrics
In the bleak mid-winter, 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 mid-winter, long a go.
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 mid-winter a stable place sufficed
the Lord God almighty...Jesus Christ
Angels and Arch-angels, may have gathered there,
Cherubin and Seraphim thronged the air
But only his mother in her maiden bliss
worshiped 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.......
...............In The Bleak Mid-Winter.........
