In The Bleak Midwinter
by David Clifton

Album: In The Bleak Midwinter - Single

In the bleak mid-winter
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 mid-winter, 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 mid-winter
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
Worshipped 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.
