O Little Town of Bethlehem (Everlasting Light)
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
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 Emmanuel
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, won't You shine on us tonight
Will you make this dark world glow so bright
With Your Everlasting Light
Everlasting Light, only You could set things right
You've come to bring the dead to life
You're the Everlasting Light
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, won't You shine on us tonight
Will you make this dark world glow so bright
With Your Everlasting Light
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
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 Emmanuel
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, won't You shine on us tonight
Will you make this dark world glow so bright
With Your Everlasting Light
Everlasting Light, only You could set things right
You've come to bring the dead to life
You're the Everlasting Light
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, shine on us
Everlasting Light, won't You shine on us tonight
Will you make this dark world glow so bright
With Your Everlasting Light
