Winter Song

C  G  C  G  C      G

[Verse 1]
G                    C                       G
Thrushes stir in the trees and hide from the moonlight
                  C            G
High on the stony ridge all is still
B7                    C     Cm                   G
  The whole world is waiting, silent as the icy stars
 A       C         D                  G      C   G
  A holy winter to cheer our darkened hearts

[Verse 2]
G                    C              G
Jesus, our Lord and King, born in a stable
                 C                  G
Wrapped in rags, asleep on a bed of straw
B7                  C       Cm                     G
  Though He is from heaven, still it is enough for Him
A                 C                  D             G      D
  He who made the mountains and will come again to reign

[Chorus]
Em D       G      Am                 D
Oh blessed night! Bright angels are singing
Em  D        G        Am         Em
For Heaven's Light is lying in a manger bed
      B7        Em                  C           G     C  G  C
Sweet Mary, she kisses His head and sings a lullaby

[Verse 3]
G                    C              G
O boundless mercy of God, beautiful mystery!
                    C                      G
The braying donkeys sheep and birds of the air
B7                  C     Cm                 G
  And shepherds and sages all have come this night
A            C       D            G      D
  To welcome Him, redeemer of the world

[Chorus]
Em D       G      Am                 D
Oh blessed night! Bright angels are singing
Em  D        G        Am         Em
For Heaven's Light is lying in a manger bed
      B7        Em                  C           G
Sweet Mary, she kisses His head and sings a lullaby
