O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dream less sleep, the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the ever lasting light
The hope sand fear so fall they ears are met in thee tonight
Verse Two
For Christis born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond'ring love
O morning stars, togetherproclaimtheholybirth
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to me none arth
Verse Three
How silently, how silently the wondrous Gif tis giv'n
So God imparts to human hearts the blessing s 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
Verse four
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
