In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: Christina Rossetti, 1830-1894 Hymnal: Worship and Rejoice #196 (2003) Meter: Irregular Hymnal Title: Worship and Rejoice 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 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 stableplace 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 my heart. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Languages: English Tune Title: CRANHAM

In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti; John Andrew Storey Hymnal: Worship in Song #84 (1996) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Hymnal Title: Worship in Song 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 Christ a homeless stranger,
So the gospels say,
Cradled in a manger
And a bed of hay;
In the bleak midwinter
Stableplace sufficed
Mary and her baby,
Jesus Christ.
3 Once more child and mother
Weave their magic spell,
Cradled in a manger
And a bed of hay;
In the bleak midwinter,
In this world of pain,
Where our hearts are open
Love is born again.
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?
I can give my heart. Topics: Christmas; Story of Jesus; Love; Nativity; Winter Tune Title: CRANHAM
