Lyrics
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 street shineth,
The everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years,
Are met in thee tonight.
O morning stars together,
Proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above.
While mortals sleep, the angels keep,
Their watch on wond’ring love.
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!
