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
