My own AcoustaTronic Version and interpretation of this Traditonal Christmas Classic by Rossetti, intended with respect and reverence. All music and production by Riff Beach, RiffWerx - 2017.

In The Bleak Midwinter - Trad (Christina Rossetti 1800’s)

(Pre-Chorus)

In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,

Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone

Snow on snow had fallen, Snow on snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter, long and long ago

(Chorus)

Angels and Archangels may have gathered there

Cherubim and Seraphim rising in the air

Oh, but only Mary, in her maiden Bliss

Worshipped the Beloved with a Mother’s Kiss

Bridge

Heaven cannot hold him

Nor can Earth Sustain

Heaven and Earth shall fall away

When he comes to Reign

(Post Chorus- Outro)

What then 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;

What then can I give him? I must give my heart
