Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
[Verse 2]
Snow had fallen
Snow on snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago
[Verse 3]
Angels and Archangel
May have traveled there
Cherubim and Seraphim
Thronged the air
[Verse 4]
But only His Mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshiped the beloved
With a kiss
[Verse 5]
What can I give Him?
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
[Verse 6]
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
But what I can, I give Him
Give Him my heart
What I can, I give Him
Give Him my heart
Written by: Gustav Holst, Christina Rossetti
