O Little Town of Bethlehem 歌詞

 

O Little Town of Bethlehem - The Choir of St Paul's Cathedral

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 tonight

 

O morning stars together

Proclaim thy holy birth

 

And praises sing to God the King

And peace to men on earth

 

For Christ is born of Mary

And gathered all above

 

While mortals sleep the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love

 

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

 

O 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 Emmanuel
