In the gift we deliver, in the gift we receive, is the living spirit Mary did conceive, the royal gift of love incandescent flame Is given to all mankind in His name.
Joy, joy, it is our true delight To give and receive on this wondrous night. A boy child to Mary is born And His light will shine on beyond the dawn.
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
