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
Stableplace sufficed
Mary and her baby,
Jesus Christ.
3 Once more child and mother
Weave their magic spell,
Cradled in a manger
And a bed of hay;
In the bleak midwinter,
In this world of pain,
Where our hearts are open
Love is born again.
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?
I can give my heart. Used With Tune: CRANHAM
