O 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

Yet in thy dark street shineth
Is everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

Oh, He is born the Baby
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love

Oh, mornin' stars, together
Proclaim the Holy Birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is here
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
Our dear God enters in

Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
