CANDLELIGHT CAROL
by John Rutter
1: How do you capture the wind on the water?
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
How can you measure the love of a mother, or how can you write down a baby's first cry?
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and starglow shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn.
Gloria, Gloria in excelsis deo!
Angels are singing; the Christ Child is born.
2.
Shepherds and wisemen will kneel and adore him, Seraphim round him their vigil will keep; Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Savior, but Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep. (
3.
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. (
