A contemporary setting of 'IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER' by Christina Rossetti.
The work was written for Bath Spa University's Chamber Choir. It was first performed on the 4th December 2014, as part of a Carol Service in Bath Abbey, England.
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.
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.
Christina Rossetti (1830-1894)
