verse 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 thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the glo-ry of Christ
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the story of His love
verse 2
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
Oh come to us abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the glo-ry of Christ
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the story of His love
Instrumental
verse 3
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 Christ be welcomed in!
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the glo-ry of Christ
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the story of His love
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the glo-ry of Christ
And the glo-ry of Christmas
Is the story of His love
