[00:-0.50]Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem
[00:05.60]How still we see thee lie;
[00:10.92]Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
[00:16.77]The silent stars go by;
[00:22.43]Yet in thy dark streets shineth
[00:27.97]The everlasting light.
[00:33.48]The hopes and fears of all the years
[00:39.13]Are met in thee tonight.
[00:45.58]
[00:55.97]For Christ is born of Mary,
[01:01.50]And gathered all above,
[01:07.00]While mortals sleep the angels keep
[01:12.31]Their watch of wondering love.
[01:17.84]O morning stars, together
[01:23.74]Proclaim the holy birth !
[01:28.99]And praises sing to God the King,
[01:35.01]And peace to men on earth !
[01:39.67]
[01:51.71]How silently, how silently
[01:57.52]The wondrous gift is given !
[02:02.45]So God imparts to human hearts
[02:08.59]The blessings of His heaven.
[02:13.75]No ear may hear His coming;
[02:19.74]But in this world of sin,
[02:24.83]Where meek souls will receive Him still,
[02:31.15]The dear Christ enters in.
[02:35.23]
[02:47.25]O holy Child of Bethlehem,
[02:53.14]Descend to us, we pray;
[02:58.22]Cast out our sin and enter in,
[03:04.03]Be born in us today.
[03:09.59]We hear the Christmas angels
[03:15.50]The great glad tidings tell,
[03:20.91]O come to us, abide with us,
[03:26.80]Out Lord Emmanuel !
[03:31.77]O come to us, abide with us,
[03:37.62]Out Lord Emmanuel !
[03:43.18]
