In The Bleak Midwinter Words: Christina Rossetti, 1872 Music: Cranham

In the bleak mid winter,
stormy winds made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone;
snow had fallen, snow on snow,
snow on snow on snow,
in the bleak mid winter,
long long ago.

Angels and arch angels
may have gathered there
cherubim and seraphim
thronged in the air;
but his mother only,
in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the be loved
worshiped 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 can I give him
give I my heart.
