Sarah Brightman - In The Bleak Midwinter lyrics

rate me

<BR>

In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan, <br>

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; <br>

Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, <br>

In the bleak midwinter, long ago. <br>

<br>

Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; <br>

Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign. <br>

In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed <br>

The lord God almighty, jesus christ. <br>

<br>

Angels and archangels may have gathered there, <br>

Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; <br>

But his mother only, in her maiden bliss, <br>

Worshiped the beloved with a kiss. <br>

<br>

What can I give him, poor as I am? <br>

If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; <br>

If I were a wise man, I would do my part; <br>

Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.<br>
