In A Bleak Midwinter lyrics

Album: Wintersong
Lyrics
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
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
Enough for him, whom cherubim, worship night and day
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for him, whom angels fall before
The ox and ass and camel which adore
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
