In the Bleak Midwinter Lyrics

In the Bleak Midwinter - The Choir Of Bath & Winchester

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
