in the bleak midwinter
stormy winds may blow 
earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone 
snow had fallen snow on snow 
snow, on snow, on snow 
in the bleak midwinter 
long, long ago 
in the deep of winter 
nestled in the cold 
through icicles reflecting
take comfort and behold 
snow is culling, hushed and lulled 
loving hearts bestow 
in the peak of winter 
hold on a don't let go
in the bleak midwinter
stormy winds may blow 
earth stood hard as iron
water like a stone 
snow had fallen snow on snow 
snow, on snow, on snow 
in the bleak midwinter 
long, long ago
