Jim Reeves - O Little Town of Bethlehem lyrics

rate me

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 to-night.

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!..
