Johnny Mathis - O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics

rate me

Oh, little town of Bethlehem<br />

How still we see thee lie<br />

Above thy deep and dreamless<br />

Sleep the silent stars go by<br />

Yet in they dark streets shineth<br />

The everlasting light<br />

The hopes and fears of all<br />

The years are met in thee tonight<br />

<br />

For Christ is born of Mary<br />

And gathered all above<br />

While mortals sleep<br />

The angels keep<br />

Their watch of wondering love<br />

Oh, morning stars together<br />

Proclaim the Holy birth<br />

And praises sing<br />

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 hear his coming<br />

But in this world of sin<br />

Where meek souls<br />

Will receive him still<br />

The dear Christ enters in<br />

<br />

Oh, holy child of Bethlehem<br />

Descend to us we pray<br />

Cast out our sin and enter in<br />

Be born in 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 Emanuel
