O little town of Bethlehem
|
How still we see thee lie
|
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
|
<http://alwaysjacichristmas.tripod.com/picwhitedress10.jpg> The silent stars go by
|
Yet in the 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 wonderous 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 meeks 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 in us today
|
We hear the Christmas angels
|
The great glad tidings tell
|
O come to us, abide with us
|
Our Lord Emmanuel (Emmanuel...Emmanuel)
