Hymn Sunday is a collaboration with Getty Music. This month they have generously decided to provide you with three hymns! Two of these three hymns may be found in the Keith Getty Top 10 Carols for Christmas. Keith has also written an article about why we should still be singing Christmas Carols.
In the Bleak Midwinter
“In the Bleak Midwinter” is among our most plaintive carols, partly because of the melancholic melody by Gustav Holst. Penned by English poet Christina Rossetti, the lyrics first appeared in 1872. The last stanza brings us to a place of personal reflection and response – what should we do about the message of Jesus’ birth? What does the gospel story require of each of us who hear it?
“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.”
