In the Bleak Midwinter ~ Fingerstyle Guitar

TAB BELOW! This song is not heard very often at Christmas, but it definitely is a beautiful song. It also has a great message!

Thanks to stevet380 who provided the tab which was arranged by Martin Simpson. If you want the tab or just want to watch his video click to see the original! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9sffRGPykg

Lyrics:

In the bleak midwinter, frost 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.

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.

Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
but his mother only, 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 bring a lamb;
if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
