Candlelight Carol (Capo 2)

E C#m A B
How do you capture the wind on the water?
E C#m A B
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
G#m C#m F#m
How do you measure the love of a mother
F#m A B E
Or how can you write down a baby's first cry?

[Chorus]

A C#m B E
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
A E C#m B
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
A C#m F#m E
Gloria, Gloria, in excelsis Deo
E C#m B E
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born

[Verse 2]

E C#m A B
Shepherds and wise men will kneel and adore him
E C#m A B
Seraphim round him their vigil will keep
G#m C#m F#m
Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Saviour
F#m A B E
But Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep

[Chorus]

A C#m B E
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
A E C#m B
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
A C#m F#m E
Gloria, Gloria, in excelsis Deo
E C#m B E
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born

[Verse 3]

E C#m A B
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger
E C#m A B
Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay
G#m C#m F#m
Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation
F#m A B E
A child with his mother that first Christmas Day

[Chorus]

A C#m B E
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
A E C#m B
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
A C#m F#m E
Gloria, Gloria, in excelsis Deo
E C#m B E
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born
