In The Bleak Midwinter with Lyrics (Choral)

My second video of a Christina Rossetti composition... this is the carol she is best known for. It's easy to see why this song is so well-loved around the world. Again, I've kept the visuals as simple as possible so the lyrics stand out.

Lyrics
written by Christian G Rossetti (1930-1894)

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.

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 stable-place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty,
Jesus Christ.

Angels and archangels
May have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air.
But His mother only,
In her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the Belovèd
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.

My dad taught us kids to sing this at the Sunday school concert. I was a shy kid and got embarrassed. But I am 72 now and have loved this song for many years. Merry Christmas and good Yule to you.

In our bleak mid winter
frosty wind made moan
while watching sun blazing in Australia
on my i phone
they are basking in hot sun
while we shiver cloudy, drizzly, none
in our bleak mid winter
Is there long to go ?
