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
