O Little Town of Bethlehem Lyrics

O Little Town of Bethlehem - Dorothy Collins

Written by:Redner/Brooks

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

 

For christ is born of mary

And gathered 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 god the king

 

And peace to men on earth

 

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

 

Where meek souls will receive him still

 

 

The dear christ enters in
