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 mid-winter
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 mid-winter
A stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty —
Jesus Christ.

Enough for Him, whom cherubim
Worship night and day,
A breastful of milk
And a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom Angels
Fall down before,
The ox and ass and camel
Which adore.

Angels and Archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air;
But only His Mother
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.

This song rocks. I heard this song back in 2012 (now 2019) and i knew this would be played at my wedding. Cut to 2019 and I played this to my now wife. This song was then played for our first dance. Thank you Liz Longley. You did it!! damo_ebert

Ich werde nie den Moment vergessen, wie ich in Schwerin in einem Media-Markt das Album Warm Strangers bei den Reinhör-Stationen gesehen habe. Scheinbar hatte jamnd anders sich die CD zuvor reingezogen und dort liegen lassen. Das Cover hat mich angesprochen und ich hab die CD sofort in einen der CD-Spieler getan. Ich war hin und weg und knapp bei Kasse, und hab trotzdem die CD sofort gekauft. Vielen Dank, Vienna, für diese wunderschöne Erinnerung. mpfau
