In The Bleak Mid-Winter with Christina Rossetti and James Taylor

First I read the words, then I heard the song, then I enjoyed it all over again by James Taylor A Christmas Carol Christina Rossetti In The bleak mid-winter Frosty winds made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter, 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 mid-winter A stable place sufficed The Lord God Almighty Jesus Christ.
