Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 ago
[Verse 2]
Our God, heaven cannot hold Him
Nor earth sustain
Heaven 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
[Verse 3]
Enough for Him, whom Cherubim
Worship night and day
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay
Enough for Him, whom Angels
Fall down before
The ox, and ass, and camel
Which adore
[Verse 4]
Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But only His Mother
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss
[Verse 5]
What can I give Him?
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man
I would do my part
But what I can, I give Him
Give Him my heart
Written by: Christina Rossetti, Gustav Holst
