Sarah McLachlan - In A Bleak Midwinter Lyrics

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan, 
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; 
snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, 
in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 

Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; 
heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign. 
in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed 
the lord god almighty, jesus christ. 

Enough for him, whom cherubim, worship night and day, 
breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay; 
enough for him, whom angels fall before, 
the ox and ass and camel which adore. 

Angels and archangels may have gathered there, 
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air; 
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss, 
worshipped the beloved 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 i can i give him... give my heart.
