John Rutter And The Cambridge Singers - Candlelight Carol Lyrics
How do you capture the wind on the water?How do you count all the stars in the sky?How do you measure the love of a motherOr how can you write down a baby's first cry?Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glowShine on his cradle till breaking of dawnSilent night, holy night, all is calm and all is brightAngels are singing; the Christ child is bornShepherds and wise men will kneel and adore himSeraphim round him their vigil will keepNations proclaim him their Lord and their SaviourBut Mary will hold him and sing him to sleepCandlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glowShine on his cradle till breaking of dawnSilent night, holy night, all is calm and all is brightAngels are singing; the Christ child is bornFind him at Bethlehem laid in a mangerChrist our Redeemer asleep in the hayGodhead incarnate and hope of salvationA child with his mother that first Christmas DayCandlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glowShine on his cradle till breaking of dawnSilent night, holy night, all is calm and all is brightAngels are singing; the Christ child is born
