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
