Dazzling Candles

See the daz­zling can­dles gleam­ing

From the spark­ling Christ­mas tree

Little faces smil­ing

dream­ing

Gather ’round it won­d’ring­ly;

Little child­ren

mark you well

What the ma­ny can­dles tell;

Christ

the pre­cious Light from Heav­en

God on Christm­as day has giv­en.

See the pret­ty pre­sents ly­ing

Underneath the Christ­mas tree!

Little hands are bu­sy

ply­ing

One by one with ra­di­ant glee.

Little child­ren

mark you well

What the ma­ny pre­sents tell;

Christ

the pre­cious gift from Heav­en

God on Christ­mas day has giv­en.

See the green and liv­ing branch­es

On the brill­iant Christ­mas tree!

Though the frost of win­ter chang­es

Life to death most cru­el­ly

Little child­ren

mark you well

What the liv­ing branch­es tell:

Christ

the pre­cious Life from Heav­en

God on Christ­mas day has giv­en.
