Light Your Candles By MARY WHEELER

Tuesday December 27, 2005

This is the song that my first-grade students will sing for our school holiday performance: 

 

Light your candles everyone 

One for all and all for one. 

Light oil lamps for Diwali, 

Eight candles for Chanukah, 

Then the lights on the Christmas tree. 

Light your candles everyone 

One for all and all for one. 

 

Ring your bells out everywhere, 

Make them resound through the air. 

Softly ring for those who are near, 

Loudly ring for those afar, 

Gladly ring for all to hear. 

Ring your bells out everywhere, 

Make them resound through the air. 

 

Sing now every girl and boy. 

Bring us music to enjoy. 

To the heavens raise your voice, 

Herald in goodwill and peace 

That we all now might rejoice. 

Sing now every girl and boy, 

Bring us music to enjoy. 

 

Chorus: (after each verse) 

Let us shine forth like a star 

Sending peace and joy afar.
