In the Bleak Midwinter
Tom.
Here are the 2 versions of the song. 100% medley line. and 65%
In the Bleak Midwinter is a song we are doing Christmas Eve.
The video above has the cadence of the songs.
the 2nd verse is the weird one. (really just the first Line)
I was thinking of Getting this song in your guys ranges and letting you sing it. If people from the congregation want to join in then they can.
The Verses
1 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.
2 Our God heav’n can’t 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.
4 Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air,
but only his mother,
in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the Beloved
with a kiss.
5 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,
I can give my heart.
Mary did you know
Here is what I am planning on using for the Christmas Eve Service.
