In the Bleak Midwinter

In the Bleak Midwinter - The St Philips Boy's Choir/Gustav Holst/Christina Rossetti

In the bleak mid-winter

Frosty winds made moan

Earth as hard as iron

Water like a stone

Snow has fallen snow on snow

Snow on snow

In the bleak mid-winter

Long long ago

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

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

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
