In the Bleak Midwinter
Author: Christina G. Rossetti Meter: Irregular Appears in 86 hymnals Topics: Advent and Nativity Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,

cherubim and seraphim thronged the air,
but only his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
4 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,
