Song Lyrics

"Paul Colman Trio In The Bleak Midwinter"

by City On A Hill
Album: City On A Hill: It's Christmas Time

In the bleak midwinter, frost 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.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped 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.
