O Little Town of Bethlehem

1.

O little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in the dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

2.

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

Oh, morning stars, together

Proclaim thy holy birth

And praises sing to God the king

And peace to men on earth

3.

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 Little Town of Bethlehem
