In the Bleak Midwinter

Author: Christina Rossetti Hymnal: CGH2010 #131 (2010) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 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. 2 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 incarnate, Jesus Christ. 3 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. 4 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 Him my heart.

It Came upon the Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Hymnal: CGH2010 #132 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth, to touch their harps of gold: "Peace on the earth, good will to men, from heaven's all gracious King." The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heavenly music floats o'er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains, they bend on hovering wing, and ever o'er its Babel sounds the heavenly angels sing. 3 All ye, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow, look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing: O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. 4 For lo! the days are hastening on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever circling years comes round the age of gold; when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and the whole world give back the song which now the angels sing.
