In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina G. Rossetti, 1830-1894 Meter: Irregular Appears in 90 hymnals Topics: The Liturgical Year Mary, the Holy Mother of God Lyrics: 1 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. 2 Our God, heav'n cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; Heav'n and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign. In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 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. 4 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. Used With Tune: CRANHAM
