O Little Town of Bethlehem

[Verse 1]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

[Chorus 1]
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

[Verse 2]
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love

[Chorus 2]
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And Peace to men on earth

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven

[Chorus 3]
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still
The dear Christ enters in

[Verse 4]
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today

[Chorus 4]
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

[Outro]
Our Lord Emmanuel
