Couldn t find guitar chords for this carol anywhere, so I notated them myself.
Original choral piece in Gb, transposed down 2 half steps to E, with optional key
change to F. Progressions accurate to the original.
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 Savior
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
