Intro: CAmFGCAmDmG
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
CAmDmGC
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
DmAmCFG
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,
CAmDmGC
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
CAmDmG
Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
CAmDmGC
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
DmAmCFG
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
CAmDmGC
The lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
CAmDmG
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
CAmDmGC
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
DmAmCFG
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
CAmDmGC
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
CAmDmG
What can I give him, poor as I am?
CAmDmGC
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
DmAmCFG
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;
CAmDmGC
Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
