Текст песни Candlelight Carol - City of London Sinfonia , The Cambridge Singers

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 starglow
Shine on his cradle 'til 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 savior
But Mary will hold him, and sing him to sleep

Candlelight, angel light
Firelight and starglow
Shine on his cradle 'til 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 starglow
Shine on his cradle 'til breaking of dawn
Gloria, gloria, in excelsis deo
Angels are singing, the Christ child is born
