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
|
|
Oh 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
|
|
Oh morning stars together
|
Proclaim the holy birth
|
And praises sing to God the king
|
And peace to men on earth
|
The hopes and fears of all the years
|
Are met in thee tonight
|
