[00:01.34] |
o little town of bethlehem |
[00:06.15] |
how still we see thee lie |
[00:11.71] |
above thy deep and dreamless sleep |
[00:17.25] |
the silent stars go by |
[00:22.95] |
yet in thy dark streets shineth |
[00:28.51] |
the everlasting light |
[00:33.96] |
the hopes and fears of all the years |
[00:39.62] |
are met in thee tonight |
[00:56.65] |
for christ is born of mary |
[01:02.04] |
and gathered all above |
[01:07.60] |
while mortals sleep, the angels keep |
[01:12.89] |
their watch of wondering love |
[01:18.40] |
o morning stars together |
[01:24.44] |
proclaim the holy birth |
[01:29.65] |
and praises sing to god the king |
[01:35.49] |
and peace to men on earth |
[01:52.30] |
how silently, how silently |
[01:57.69] |
the wondrous gift is given! |
[02:02.92] |
so god imparts to human hearts |
[02:09.00] |
the blessings of his heaven. |
[02:14.18] |
no ear may his his coming, |
[02:20.08] |
but in this world of sin, |
[02:25.40] |
where meek souls will receive him still, |
[02:31.79] |
the dear christ enters in. |
[02:47.85] |
o holy child of bethlehem |
[02:53.73] |
descend to us, we pray |
[02:58.81] |
cast out our sin and enter in |
[03:04.56] |
be born to us today |
[03:09.80] |
we hear the christmas angels |
[03:15.70] |
the great glad tidings tell |
[03:21.07] |
o come to us, abide with us |
[03:27.15] |
our lord emmanuel |
