My Favourite Christmas Carols
[2006]
Transcribed by

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds 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
Heaven cannot hold Him
Nor the earth sustain:
Heaven and earth shall flee away
When He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter
Stable place sufficed
The Lord God almighty
Jesus Christ
Though 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 can I give him
I would give my heart
In the bleak midwinter
Frosty winds 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
