Sarah Brightman - In the Bleak Midwinter - Текст песни

In the bleak midwinter, frost 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, 
Worshiped 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.
