about

originally written by Christina Rossetti, as a poem... Gustav Holst & Harold Darke composed the original music

lyrics

oh,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 on snow,
In the bleak mid-winter
Long ago.
Long ago.

Our God, heaven can't hold Him
Nor earth sustain,
Heaven and earth shall fall away
When He comes to reign:
In the bleak mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty —
Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ.

Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But only His Mother only
In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved
With a kiss.
With a kiss.

What can I give Him,
Poor as I am? —
If I were a Shepherd
I'd bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man
I would do my part, —
what I can I give Him, —
Give my heart.
Give my heart.
