Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the bleak midwinter, long, long ago
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter, a long, long time ago
[Verse 2]
What can I give him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb
And if I were a wise man, I'd duly play my part
What can I give him? I will give my heart
[Verse 3]
(Earth stood hard as iron)
(Frosty winds did blow)
In the bleak midwinter, a long, long time ago
Written by: Christina Rossetti, Gustav Holst
