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
The 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 receiv Him still
The dear Christ enters in
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!
