tema: CANDELIGHT CAROL

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.

 

Refrain:

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.
