Winter Song

C  G  C  G  C      G

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

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

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

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

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