O Little Town of Bethlehem Lyrics

O Little Town of Bethlehem - Mario Lanza/Paul Baron Orchestra

Written by:Bishop Phillips Brooks/Lewis Henry Redner

Oh 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

 

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 men 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

 

 

Amen
