"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 dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
How silently
How silently
This 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
Romey
"O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us," we pray
"Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today."
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide in us
Our Lord Immanuel!
O come to us, abide in us
Our Lord Immanuel!
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
How silently
How silently
This 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
Romey
"O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us," we pray
"Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born to us today."
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide in us
Our Lord Immanuel!
O come to us, abide in us
Our Lord Immanuel!
