Full Lyrics
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?
CHORUS
Candle light, 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 Saviour,
But Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep.
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.
