In the Bleak Midwinter

[Verse 1: Rufus Wainwright]
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

[Verse 2: Renée Fleming]
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

[Verse 3: Renée Fleming & Rufus Wainwright]
Angels and archangels
May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim
Thronged the air
But His mother only
In her maidеn bliss
Worshiped the belovеd
With a kiss

[Verse 4: Renée Fleming & Rufus Wainwright]
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
