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
