Erasure - Bleak Midwinter lyrics
[Erasure - Bleak Midwinter lyrics]
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 beloved with a kiss
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
