Stylusboy - O Little Town of Bethlehem lyrics

rate me

Little town, oh little town

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee light

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.

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above.

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love.

Oh morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the king

And peace to all on earth!

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.

Oh 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!

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem
