Slowly, as most quietly sit,
(calm excited children!),
wick to wick, candles are lit,
music swells – when all have risen
carols in loud praises lift:
reminders of God’s wondrous gift.

As a candle can ignite
another, one by one alight.
so we each can spread the joy –
come, meet this Saviour, once a boy!

I have wonderful memories of carols by candlelight, but they always seem to end in someone setting fire to someone else !

All was safe here. Actually it was the last few carols that were sung thus! Rhiannon

Love the idea Rhiannon, one candle lighting another and another spreading and all more and more until every candle in the world is burning. It started with one candle, one little flame,

As in the Christmas Carol, Let every heart sing!

Joy to the world the Lord is come, let earth receive her king!
Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing!
Let every heart sing! Repeat, repeat the sounding joy!

Much Love! And a happy Christmas!! Nolan &
