O Little Town

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

City of David, from you will come
The ruler of Israel, God's own son
Come to us, our Lord Emmanuel

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 to-day
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

City of David, from you will come
The ruler of Israel, God's own son
Come to us, our Lord Emmanuel

The dark night wakes in Bethlehem
The morning breaks in Bethlehem
The dark night wakes in Bethlehem
The morning breaks in Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem
O little town of Bethlehem

O Bethlehem
O Bethlehem
O Bethlehem
O Bethlehem
