O Little Town of Bethlehem
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
Oh Morning Stars together
proclaim the holy birth
and praises sing to God our King,
and peace to man on earth
Oh 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 givn
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His Hand
no ear may hear his coming but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still the dear Christ enters in
Oh Holy Child of Bethlehem descend on us we pray
Crossed out our sin and enter in, Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas Angels, their great glad tidings tell
Oh Come to us, Abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel
Oh Come to us, Abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel
Oh come to us, Abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel
