Crash Test Dummies O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics

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



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 all 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



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
