for which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

an ever-flowing sea,
that holds within its vast embrace

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti, 1830-1894; John Andrew Storey, 1935- Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 97 hymnals Topics: Jewish and Christian Teachings Christmas 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 Christ a homeless stranger,
so the gospels say,
cradled in a manger
and a bed of hay;
in the bleak midwinter
stable-place sufficed
Mary and her baby,
Jesus Christ.
3 Once more child and mother
weave their magic spell,
touching hearts with wonder
words can never tell;
in the bleak midwinter,
in this world of pain,
where our hearts are open
love is born again.

a bulwark never failing;
our helper sure amid the flood
of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
doth seek to work us woe;
with craft and power great;
and, armed with cruel hate,
on earth is not an equal.
2 God's word above all earthly powers,
no thanks to them, abideth;
the spirit and the gifts are ours
through God who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
this mortal life also;
the body they may kill,
God's truth abideth still;
whose kingdom is forever. Used With Tune: EIN' FESTE BURG
