Katherine Jenkins - In The Bleak Midwinter Lyrics






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

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

  1. t.... k....

    Nice, but I prefer the traditional Holst setting.

  2. E.... R....

    She actually made me cry.

    E.... R....

    If Christopher Nolans Batman films are continued Kathrine Jenkins could be the perfect choice to portray Nora Fries.

  3. S.... O....

    I think susie boyle smashes it

  4. T.... ....

    Watching the Doctor Who episode she sings this in and she has one of those nice calming voices.

  5. C.... L....

    who arranged this piece?

    C.... L....

    Gustav Holst.

    C.... L....

    Silver Back - The original tune was by Holst, however this is the Harold Darke version.

  6. i.... ....

    The fish like the singing.

    i.... ....

    @iWhoProductionsHD  Hahahaha! That's exactly how Katherine became my favorite singer, and how I found out about her--the fish!! ;)

  7. j.... ....

    She is awesome. When she sang this on the Doctor Who episode "A Christmas Carol" she blew me away. One of the most beautiful things I've heard in my entire life.

    j.... ....

    @jb47vintage I know, it was so, so beautiful. It was like an angel singing. Its also how I found out who she was. ;) C: Praise the Lord, this song is so lovely ^_^

  8. L.... s....

    Voice of an Angel !!!

  9. L.... s....

    you need your ears cleaned.

  10. A.... B....

    Totally lovely song to listen at this time of year, K.J. mades now everything so magical

  11. N.... R....

    Then why, my dear, were you listening to this in the first place?

  12. N.... R....

    Can't we all just agree that we are here to listen to her VOICE?! Saying that she looks 'like a plastic barbie doll' is still commenting on her looks and it's still irrelevant.

  13. h.... ....

    Who is he? Its A Christmas Hymn.Katherine most likely sang it in her when she was in her local Anglican church,She was a former star Chorister

  14. c.... ....

    @HGM1138 and... me too! Viva, Doctor Who!

  15. E.... A....

    @HGM1138 ME TOO!

  16. j.... ....

    @HGM1138 Me too! :D

  17. E.... P....

    @HGM1138 Me, too!

  18. H.... ....

    Doctor Who "A Christmas Carol" brought me here!

  19. K.... F....

    @MsRadabad55 What would be the problem if she DID look like a beached whale? That has absolutely nothing to do with her singing ability

  20. L.... ....

    I adore Katy, don't get me wrong, but if you like this song Dan Fogelberg does a superb version on his album "The First Christmas Morning." Check it out. You won't be sorry.

  21. T.... ....

    @northman01 How can you say that? 'A model who can sing a little'?!
    She gets photographed because she has an amazing voice. She deserves all the photography an fame she is getting because she not just some ditsy scumbag; she's something to be proud of!
    I would like to see you pull off a talent like hers! HMPH!
    ಠ_ಠ

    T.... ....

    Totally agree! She is a singer who happens to be an amazingly beautiful woman! If she couldn't sing we would never have seen her! Singers get their pictures taken, regardless of their looks! Take Steven Tyler from aerosmith, a singularly goofy looking man but he can sing! Ozzie Osborne,fuckin ugly! Only reason we know what they look like, they are singers!
