Lyrics
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
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
The morning stars together proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth
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
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
Oh come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel
Our Lord Emmanuel
