O Little Town of Bethlehem

Lyrics

O little town of Bethlehem
 How still we see thee lie
 Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
 The silent stars go by
 Yet in thy dark streets shineth
 The everlasting light
 The hopes and fears of all the years
 Are met in thee tonight
 ♪
 For Christ is born of Mary
 And gathered all above
 While mortals sleep, the angels keep
 Their watch of wondering love
 O morning stars together
 Proclaim the holy birth
 And praises sing to God the King
 And peace to men on Earth
 ♪
 How silently, how silently
 The wondrous Gift is given
 So God imparts to human hearts
 The blessings of His Heaven
 No ear may hear His coming
 But in this world of sin
 Where meek souls will receive Him still
 The dear Christ enters in
 ♪
 O holy Child of Bethlehem
 Descend to us, we pray
 Cast out our sin and enter in
 Be born to us today
 We hear the Christmas angels
 The great glad tidings tell
 O come to us, abide with us
 Our Lord Emmanuel
 O come to us, abide with us
 Our Lord Emmanuel
