In the Bleak Mid Winter Lyrics
In the Bleak Mid Winter - The Alastar Folks
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
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
Enough for him whom cherubim
Worship night and day
A breastful of milk
And a manger of hay
Enough for him whom angels
Fall down before
The ox and a** and camel
Which adore
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
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
