Candlelight Carol chords by John Rutter

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

G           Em          C             D
How do you capture the wind on the water?
G           Em          C            D
How do you count all the stars in the sky?
Bm                     Em        Am
How do you measure the love of a mother
Am              C           D           G
Or how can you write down a baby's first cry?


Chorus:

C            Em           D             G
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
C            G           Em          D
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
C       Em      D           G
Gloria, Gloria, in excelsis Deo
G          Em           D               G
Angels are singing; the Christ child is born

G             Em            C           D
Shepherds and wise men will kneel and adore him
G         Em             C          D
Seraphim round him their vigil will keep
Bm                         Em             Am
Nations proclaim him their Lord and their Saviour
Am            C            D           G
But Mary will hold him and sing him to sleep


Chorus:

C            Em           D             G

Angels are singing; the Christ child is born


Verse 3:

G           Em        C         D
Find him at Bethlehem laid in a manger
G          Em        C            D
Christ our Redeemer asleep in the hay
Bm                    Em         Am
Godhead incarnate and hope of salvation
Am               C           D               G
A child with his mother that first Christmas Day


Chorus:

C            Em           D             G
Candlelight, angel light, firelight and star-glow
C            G           Em          D
Shine on his cradle till breaking of dawn
C       Em      D           G
