IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER
Christina Rossetti/Gustav Holst
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
Enough for Him, whom cherubim worship night and day
A breastful of milk and a manger full of hay
Enough for Him whom angels fall down before
The ox and ass and camel which adore
Angels and archangels may have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air
But only his mother in her maiden bliss
Worshipped 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 me heart
GABRIEL'S MESSAGE
Basque carol
The Angel Gabriel from heaven came
His wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame
All hail, said he, thou lowly maiden Mary
Most highly-favoured lady, Gloria
For known a blessed mother thou shalt be
All generations laud and honour thee
Thy son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold
Most highly-favoured lady, Gloria
Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head
To me be as it pleaseth God, she said
My soul shall laud and magnify thy holy name
Most highly-favoured lady, Gloria
Of her, Emmanuel, the Christ was born
In Bethlehem all on a Christmas morn
And Christian folk around the world will ever say
Most highly-favoured lady, Gloria
LISTEN, THE SNOW IS FALLING
Yoko Ono
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling everywhere
Between Empire State Building
Between Trafalgar Square
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling everywhere
Between your bed and mine
Between your head and my mind
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling everywhere
Between your town and mine
Between your home and mine
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling everywhere
Between your screen and mine
Between your heard and mine
Listen the snow is falling over town
Listen the snow is falling over town
THE COMPANY MAKES THE FEAST
Mike Tickell
We've food and drink and fire
The snow beats at the door
Come settle in and warm yourself
We've all been here before
The night is young, we've time to share
Outside a hard wind blows
We'll celebrate good company
Before the grey cock crows
For the company makes the feast
And music weaves its spell
Songs and stories, pints and fiddles
Friends we all know well
And every act is welcome
From masterpiece to least
Hard times here are yesterdays
The company makes the feast
There's crack about the lambing
The struggle to win hay
Kielder Water and the Forest
The changes here today
Like collie-dogs we're running
There isn't time to blow
Now everything's up-tempo
Where once we took it slow
But the company makes the feast
And music weaves its spell
Songs and stories, pints and fiddles
Friends we all know well
And every act is welcome
From masterpiece to least
Hard times here are yesterdays
The company makes the feast
So here's to this company
May friendship never fail
For the company's in the music
The songs, the poems, the tales
And the music's in the places
From The Green to Hareshaw Hill
And wherever that we journey to
The company's with us still
For the company makes the feast
And music weaves its spell
Songs and stories, pints and fiddles
Friends we all know well
And every act is welcome
From masterpiece to least
Hard times here are yesterdays
The company makes the feast
