In The Bleak Midwinter 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 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.
Enough for Him, Whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, Whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, 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.

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Smith & Burrows is a collaboration between Tom Smith from Editors and Andy Burrows from I Am Arrows / We Are Scientists / Razorlight. Their album, Funny Looking Angels was released on November 28th 2011. What started as two friends popping into each other’s houses and then home studios, putting down an idea here and a melody there, developed into a set of songs with a Christmas theme, then a theoretical album, then a real album with a release date and a title. ‘Funny Looking Angels’ includes original songs from both Tom and Andy but also features a selection of covers.
