In the Bleak Midwinter

Verse 1 In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind may moan Earth stood hard as iron Water like a stone Verse 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him Nor earth sustain Heaven and earth shall flee away When he comes to reign Chorus Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow In the bleak midwinter, long ago Verse 3 Angels and archangels May have gathered there Cherubim and Seraphim Thronged the air Bridge But only his mother, in her maiden bliss Worshiped the beloved with a kiss Verse 4 In the bleak midwinter A stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ
