In the Bleak Midwinter Lyrics

In the Bleak Midwinter - Choirs of Bath/Winchester Cathedral

Written by:Gustav Holst/Christina Rossetti

In the bleak midwinter 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 midwinter long ago

Our god heaven cannot hold him nor earth sustain

Heaven and earth shall flee away

When he comes to reign

In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

The lord god almighty

Jesus Christ

Enough for him whom cherubim

Worship night and day

Breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay

Enough for him whom angels fall before

The ox and a** 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

 

Give my heart
