Author Notes:
"In the Bleak Midwinter" is a poem by the English poet Christina Rossetti. It was published under the title "A Christmas Carol" in the January 1872.  Gustav Holst's called his hymn "Cranham", published in 1906 and simple enough to be sung by a congregation.  Something about a grand orchestra just feels like the holidays.  Enjoy!

[HOOK]
What can I give Him....
Poor as I am, poor as I am!

[INTRO]
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, long ago

[VERSE 1]
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
Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ

[VERSE 2]
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

[VERSE 3]
Angels and archangels may have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air
But only His mother in her maiden bliss
Worshiped the Beloved
With a kiss

[OUTRO]
What can I give Him
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would give a lamb
If I were a wise man, I would do my part
Yet what I can, I give Him
Give my heart

[HOOK]
Yet what I can, I give Him....
Give my heart, give my heart! (Give my heart)

[END]
