Candlelight Carol |
How do you capture the wind on the water? |
How do you count all the stars in the sky? |
How do you measure the love of a mother |
Or how can you write down a baby’s first cry? |
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow |
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn |
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright |
Angels are singing; |
the Christ child is born |
Shepherds and wise men will kneel and adore him |
Seraphim round him their vigil will keep |
Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Saviour |
But Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep |
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow |
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn |
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright |
Angels are singing; |
the Christ child is born |
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger |
Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay |
Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation |
A child with his mother that first Christmas Day |
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow |
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn |
Silent night, holy night, all is calm and all is bright |
Angels are singing; |
the Christ child is born |
