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
O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God, the King, and peace to men on earth!
For Christ is born of Mary, and, gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love
How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav'n
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek 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 pray, we pray, our Christmas angels, the great Christ Child
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel
