Sarah Brightman - In the Bleak Midwinter |
|
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 only His mother1 |
|
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. |
