Lyrics:
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.

It feels like being in *_BARRY LYNDON_* , fireplace, light...
Simpler times...coming again. 😌
Sweet maiden and her harp, I missed you already, late but here I am, excellent harmony
With good feelings. this is happyness
Thank you for this beautiful and peaceful respite!
Beautiful Stephanie. Reminds me of what I so much missed last Christmas. Good company, good food and good times round a blazing fire at my sister's home. All in the English countryside of Hampshire close to where Jane Austen once lived.
Que c'est doux... Merci pour ce beau moment.
Gorgeous!
Thanks Robin!
So lovely. The wood grain on your Gothic is gorgeous. Thanks for making an easier version for us noobs.
Lovely! I especially like your “bridge” between verses.
Beautiful! 😍♥️
This piece makes me cry every time I listen it to. I love the old fashioned settings you created and still more your heartfelt harp arrangement. Thank you, Stephanie, for sharing your talent and sensibility as much as your intrisincal simplicity through music. Gustav Holst translated into music the gentleness and humbleness of Christina Rossetti's lovely poem. You, playing it as you do, add a luminous aura to both of those artists and their creations. I'm deeply moved.
I really love anything that involves costuming, and In the Bleak Midwinter has long been a favorite melody of mine!
@@StephanieClaussen Since childhood I love costuming too: Long skirts, flowing sleeves, anything but the 20th century fashion. I've kept that preference and admire how you bring old fashioned clothes and articles into the scenes of your videos. I guess all romantic people have love for the old fashioned!😊
@@ceciliagincho6806wow - well said 👌🏼
@@Daniel08353 Thank you! I'm so glad you agree.🤗
Beautiful! And such a warm cozy ambience! 💕
Absolutely beautiful, Steph! 💕
Perfect in every way; calming and comforting to both watch and listen to. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts with us, Stephanie!
Everything is perfect indeed! Setting and outfit and music
Love everything! So delicate as always, and beautiful scene ♥️
One of my favorite carols. Thanks so much for sharing that. Beautifully played!
Beautiful, thanks Steph (and crew?)! Always liked this tune but the lyrics are dynamite also. What is the best gift for a guy that spent his life talking about loving and caring for (all) others? The settings for your vids keep getting better!
Very nice Stephanie.
Why thank you!
Beautifully done! So expressive and pleasing to listen to.
Oh wow you just popped back up on feed. I need to do some catching up. Notifications had been turned off for some reason.
Beautiful as always.. Gonna spend Sunday listening to the ones I missed out on.
Happy listening!
Gorgeous! One of my favorites, and you play it brilliantly. Also, the atmosphere of the video is perfect. I was basking in it.
So exquisite! This is a wonderful video, Stephanie!!
The most beautiful harp video I have ever seen. I love Victorian, my favourite books and movies are Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heightsand anything E. Bronte or Dickens.
So perfect and warming. Love your tools especially the register grate for a hot pad. You captured my heart here. Thank You Stephanie. I shall save this.
I love that grate so much and it makes me happy that you loved it too!
NATURE PAUSES..., PONDERS..., WONDERS IN HER TIMELESS ,SEASONAL ROUTINE AS THE WARMTH OF THE EXQUISITE MELODY SOFTLY CARESSES HER CHEEKS!!!V.W.
Beautiful words (as always)!
Charming!
Thank you!
You are one of my favorite arrangers now. I love your pieces and love learning them. They are challenging without being frustrating and flow beautifully on the fingers. Have you ever heard the Holly and Ivy Girl or Over the hill and O'er the dale (or Vale depending on the version). I would love to see what you could arrange them into! Anyway just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your sheet music.
Thank you for your kind words; I'm so pleased you enjoy the arrangements! I haven't heard of the Holly and Ivy Girl, but I love O'er The Dale. I'll add it to my list!
Love this!! Is there a place to purchase the music?
