Oh Little Town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

But you did not know...

That in your dark streets shined the Everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years were met in you that night

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven

But we did not know...

No one heard him come, no one noticed him,
But where meek souls will receive him, still
Jesus enters in

Yeah
And in our dark streets shines the Everlasting Light
The hopes and the fears of all the years were met in you that night

O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray,
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us this day
