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 street shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight



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, Amen
