Lyrics
In The Bleak Mid-Winter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
In the bleak midwinter, frost 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.
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.
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, would I do my part;
yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
In the bleak midwinter, frost wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
if I were a Wise Man, would I do my part;
yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
