One of my favorite Christmas Carols sung by Twila Paris
from her Christmas CD, "its the thought",
which BTW is one of my favorite Christmas CD's!

IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER

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
So long ago

What 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 can I give him
Give my heart

In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone

Snow had fallen snow snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
So long ago

Music: Twila Paris
COMPOSER: Gustav Holst, Christina Rossetti

Good morning, apackof2 - I keep getting sidetracked from here - wanted to see if I could find that CD online - but couldn't. :( Was able to listen to a few samples of her other CDs though. Such a beautiful voice.
