Oh, little town of |
|
BethlehemHow still we see thee lie |
|
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep |
|
The silent stars go by |
|
Yet in thy dark streets shine |
|
The everlasting light |
|
The hopes and fears of all the years |
|
Are met in thee tonight |
|
For Christ is born of |
|
MaryAnd gathered all above |
|
While mortals sleep the angels |
|
Keep their watch of wondering love |
|
Oh, morning stars together |
|
Proclaim thy holy birth |
|
And praises sing to |
|
God the king |
|
And peace to men on earth |
|
Oh little town of |
|
BethlehemHow still we see thee lie |
|
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep |
|
The silent stars go by |
|
Yet in thy dark streets shine |
|
The everlasting light |
|
The hopes and fears of all the years |
|
Are met in thee tonight |
