O 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! |
