Oh little town of Bethlehem
|
How still we see thee lie
|
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
|
The silent stars go by
|
|
Yet in they 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
|
|
No ear may hear His coming
|
But in this world of sin
|
Where meek souls will receive Him still
|
The dear Christ enters in
|
|
Oh holy child of Bethlehem
|
Descend to us we pray
|
Cast out our sin and enter in
|
Be born in us today
|
|
We hear the Christmas angels
|
The great glad tidings tell
|
Oh come to us, abide with us
|
Our Lord Emanuel
|
