in the bleak midwinter
Singer: brightman, sarah
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.
