a christmas carol
Thursday, December 25, 2008
I know too many Christmas carols to have only one favourite, so here are the lyrics of one of them. I have no money to give presents (read: I am cheap) but anyway the gift of music is infinitely more valuable than anything material. Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night, and in the words of Tiny Tim from Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, "God bless us, every one!"
CANDLELIGHT CAROL (John Rutter)
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 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 starglow 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 starglow Shine on His cradle till breaking of dawn; Gloria, Gloria in excelsis Deo! Angels are singing, "The Christ child is born!"
