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 ever lasting 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 wandering love
|
o morning stars, together
|
proclaim the holy birth
|
and praises sing to god the king
|
and peace to men on earth
|
|
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 immanuel!
|
and peace to men on earth
|
