O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O Little Town Of Bethlehem - Liz Clarke

Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by

Yet in your dark streets shineth the everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

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

O come to us abide with us our lord Emanuel

O come to us abide with us our lord Emanuel
