Light the Advent candle one
Now the waiting has begun:
We have started on our way
Time to think of Christmas day.
Chorus:
Candle, candle burning bright
Shining in the cold winter night.
Candle, candle burning bright
Fill our hearts with Christmas light.
2 Light the Advent candle two
Think of humble shepherds who
Filled with wonder at the sight
Of the child on Christmas night.
3 Light the Advent candle three
Think of heavenly harmony:
Angels singing "Peace on Earth"
At the Blessed Saviour's birth.
4 Light the Advent candle four
Think of joy forever more.
Christ child in a stable born
Gift of love that Christmas morn.
