    This past Sunday at Epiphany Mass I heard this hymn for the very first time. How could I have never heard it, since I am age 67? Glorious and majestic! What a beautiful performance to the glory of God!

    Christina Rossetti - A Christmas Carol
    In the bleak mid-winter
    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 mid-winter
    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 mid-winter
    A stable-place sufficed
    The Lord God Almighty -
    Jesus Christ.
    Enough for Him, whom cherubim
    Worship night and day,
    A breastful of milk
    And a mangerful of hay;
    Enough for Him, whom Angels
    Fall down before,
    The ox and ass and camel
    Which adore.
    Angels and Archangels
    May have gathered there,
    Cherubim and seraphim
    Thronged the air;
    But only His Mother
    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.

    I have repeated the phrase "snow upon snow" a few times recently, unable to remember where it comes from. Then I was led to this video reading something which called it the greatest Christmas carol.

      There is one last verse to this which goes " snow snow snow snow snow " to every phrase, and if you start the tune and make the word snow last in one long howl from the beginning of the music to the last not, it brings it alive.

    An amazingly beautiful song. I have never heard of it before but here because a friend of mine on SoundCloud posted his wonderful version of it. Thank you for posting!

    This song perfectly describes a typical Canadian winter, which is exactly what it is like outside my window at this very moment

    In the bleak midwinter
    Frosty wind made moan
    Earth stood hard as iron
    Water like a stone
    Snow had fallen
    Snow on snow on snow
    In the bleak midwinter
    Long, long ago
    Angels and Arc Angels
    May have traveled there
    Cherubim and Seraphim
    Thronged the air
    But only his Mother
    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 give a lamb
    If I were a wise man
    I would do my part
    But what I can I give him
    Give him my heart
    Give him my heart

    Ridiculous key. F sharp major? Why? At least choose G major. Or keep the original F major.
