In The Bleak Midwinter Lyrics - Charlotte Church

In the bleak midwinter, frost 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. 

Angels and archangels may have gathered there, 

Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; 

But his mother only, 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 I can I give him: give my heart.
