Little Town of Bethlehem |
| O little town of Bethlehem |
| How still we see the 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 |
| For Christ is born of Mary |
| And gathered all above |
| While mortals sleep, the angels keep |
| Their watch of wondering love |
| O morning stars, together |
| Proclaim the holy birth |
| And praises sing to God the King |
| 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 Where children pure and happy |
| Pray to the blessed Child |
| Where misery cries out to thee |
| Son of the mother mild |
| Where charity stands watching |
| And faith holds wide the door |
| The dark night wakes, the glory breaks |
| And Christmas comes once more |
| 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 |
| O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel! |
