O Little Town of Bethlehem Lyrics

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 darkness shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary
And fathered all above
While mortals sleep
The angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to Godthe king
And peace to men on earth
How silently
How silently
The wondrous gift is given
So Godimparts 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
Oh come to us
Abide with us
Our Lord immanuel
