Light the Advent Candle

 

1. Light the Ad - vent can – dle, one;     Now the wait – ing has be – gun;

We have start – ed on our way,        Time to think of Christ - mas 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 the humble shepherds, who

Filled with wonder at the sight        Of the child on Christmas night.

 

REPEAT CHORUS

3. Light the Advent candle, three;      Think of heav’n – ly har – mo – ny;

Angels sing – ing “peace on earth”;   At the blessed Savior’s birth.

 

REPEAT CHORUS

4. Light the Advent candle, four;      Think of joy forevermore

Christ – child in a stable born,          Gift of love that Christ – mas morn.

 

REPEAT CHORUS

5. Light the Christ – mas can – dle, now;     Sing of donkey, sheep, and cow;

Birth – day can – dles for the King,     Let the Al – le – lu - las ring.

 

CHORUS
