lyrics

Falling and squalling and drifting through life, but a
Flurry in street lamp, a halo of light, sets me right again

Swirling through sky on a frozen night
One in million, crystal light, there’s a star in the ice

Nowell, nowell
Nowell, nowell
Midwinter is bleak but it’s holy as hell

Clouds cast their silvery spell on the land
Soundless and weightless, the snowflakes command you be still

Turning me into a child once again
Wide eyed and wonder-filled, wonder-filled son of the chill

Nowell, nowell
Nowell, nowell
Midwinter is bleak but it’s holy as hell

Look to the scene of the heaven-sent son
The glory revealed in the frailty, delicate wonder

It’s weak and it’s fine and it comes and it goes
Where beauty is transient, holiness holds, and it holds me close

Nowell, nowell
Nowell, nowell
Midwinter is bleak but it’s holy as hell
