O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

Writers Reverend Phillips Brooks, Lewis H. Redner



O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie. Above the 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 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 hear the Christmas angels the great glad
tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emanuel.
