Candlelight Carol
=================
w&m: John Rutter, 1966

[Verse 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?

[Refrain]
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.

[Verse 2]
Shepherds and wise men 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.

[Refrain]

[Verse 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.

[Refrain]
