Rutter: Candlelight Carol

歌詞

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 star glow Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! 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 Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! 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 Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing The Christ child is born Angels are singing The Christ child is born
