Traditional - O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics
rate meO 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 />
<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 />
<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 />
<br />
No ear may hear His coming<br />
But in this world of sin<br />
Where meek souls will receive Him<br />
Still the dear Christ enters in<br />
<br />
Where children, pure and happy<br />
Pray to the Blessed Child<br />
Where misery cries out to Thee<br />
Son of the Mother mild<br />
<br />
Where charity stands watching<br />
And faith holds wide the door<br />
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks<br />
And Christmas comes once more<br />
<br />
O 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 />
<br />
We hear the Christmas angels<br />
The great glad tidings tell<br />
O come to us, abide with us<br />
Our Lord Emmanuel
