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
