Four Christmases movie - O' Little Town of Bethlehem lyrics

rate me

O little town of Bethlehem<br>

How still we see thee lie<br>

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep<br>

The silent stars go by<br>

Yet in thy dark streets shineth<br>

The everlasting Light<br>

The hopes and fears of all the years<br>

Are met in thee tonight<br>

<br>

For Christ is born of Mary<br>

And gathered all above<br>

While mortals sleep, the angels keep<br>

Their watch of wondering love<br>

O morning stars together<br>

Proclaim the holy birth<br>

And praises sing to God the King<br>

And Peace to men on earth<br>

<br>

How silently, how silently<br>

The wondrous gift is given!<br>

So God imparts to human hearts<br>

The blessings of His heaven.<br>

No ear may his His coming,<br>

But in this world of sin,<br>

Where meek souls will receive him still,<br>

The dear Christ enters in.<br>

<br>

O holy Child of Bethlehem<br>

Descend to us, we pray<br>

Cast out our sin and enter in<br>

Be born to us today<br>

We hear the Christmas angels<br>

The great glad tidings tell<br>

O come to us, abide with us<br>

Our Lord Emmanuel<br>

<br>
