Rend Collective's rendition of 'In the Bleak Midwinter' is a modern folk take on the classic Christmas hymn. The song paints a vivid picture of the harsh winter setting of Jesus' birth, contrasting the cold, hard earth with the warmth of the incarnation. It reflects on the humility of the stable where the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ, was born. The lyrics culminate in a personal response, asking what one can give to Christ and answering with the offering of one's heart. The song emphasizes the simplicity and sincerity of worship, focusing on the gift of self rather than material offerings.

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 can?t hold Him

Nor the 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


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
