in the bleak midwinter

Lyrics

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, 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, angels and archangels, may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim, thronged the air, but only his mother, in her maiden bliss, worshiped 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 can i give him?, give my heart, in the bleak mid winter, frosty wind made moan, for earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone, snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak mid winter, long, long ago
