I would light a Christmas candle of peace to burn within your heart, And cheer you with it's gentle glow whenever we're apart. That you may be given strength and calm and courage for each new day, A peace that the world can never give and cannot take away. I would light a Christmas candle of love to burn so clear and strong, To shine with an unfailing glow and bring to your heart a song... For the Prince of Peace came down to earth from His radiant heaven above On that first Christmas long ago, to bring us His Father's love!
