Oh little town of Bethlehem
|
Looks like another silent night
|
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
|
A giant star lights up the sky
|
And while you're lying in the dark
|
There shines an everlasting light
|
For the King has left His throne
|
And is sleeping in a manger tonight
|
|
Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
|
For God became a man
|
And stepped into your world today
|
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
|
As a city with no room for its King
|
While you were sleeping
|
While you were sleeping
|
|
Oh little town of Jerusalem
|
Looks like another silent night
|
The Father gave His only Son
|
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
|
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
|
|
Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
|
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
|
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
|
As a city with no room for its King
|
While you were sleeping
|
While you were sleeping
|
|
United States of America
|
Looks like another silent night
|
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
|
That save the trees and kill the children
|
And while we're lying in the dark
|
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
|
For the Bridegroom has returned
|
And has carried His bride away in the night
|
|
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
|
Will Jesus come again
|
And leave us slumbering where we lay
|
America, will we go down in history
|
As a nation with no room for its King
|
Will we be sleeping
|
Will we be sleeping
|
|
United States of America
|
Looks like another silent night
|
