In The Bleak Midwinter
02:59

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 mid-winter, long ago.
Angels and Archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His Mother only, 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 my heart.
In the bleak mid-winter, long ago.

God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour Was born this Christmas day,
To save poor souls from Satan's power When we were gone astray:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly Father The blessed angels came,
And unto certain shepherds Glad tidings of the same,
That he was born in Bethlehem The Son of God by name:
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks a' feeding In tempest, storm and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway, This blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
But when to Bethlehem they came, Whereat this Infant lay,
They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary kneeling, Unto the Lord did pray.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises, All ye within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood Each other now embrace;
For the merry time of Christmas is coming on a' pace
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour Was born this Christmas day,
To save poor souls from Satan's power When we were gone astray:
Glad tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, Glad tidings of comfort and joy.
Glad tidings of comfort and joy. Glad tidings of comfort and joy

Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow
"Bewitching and otherworldly... Morrison's voice is eerily confiding, strangely present, insistent even at its quietest"
Folk Radio UK.
Believing in the beauty of sad songs, weaving folk, soul and beat sounds of the '60s into a tapestry of the human heart. Homespun sounds that reside in a nostalgic universe.
"Dark, unsettling folk that verges on the hymnal" BBC Introducing.

Angeline Morrison and The Ambassadors of Sorrow recommends:
'Andromeda' by Alex Rex is a thing of dark beauty, an examination of a wounded heart that is both forensic and poetic.

Haemorrhaging Light
by Frances Pylons
I literally cannot get over the ingenious brilliance of this artist. Intricate instrumentation and the voice of a 19th century medium in tight midnight-black taffeta...
