Glad to see how this came out, and thanks for the writeup!
Relighting the candles took long enough that some people got bored, and it would have worked better if we started Brighter than Today while people were still passing the light around.
When I have gotten to do candles, the way I do it FYI is to have the first candle lit during Brighter Than Today (with the match struck on the line “till she saw the spark of light”) and then have the candles get lit during the song, which leads to nice effects of a) nobody being bored, and b) the song growing brighter over the course of it.
