Verse 1
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
Verse 2
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth
Verse 3
O Bethlehem, how can you sleep?
A time has come that’s wilder than your dreams
Awaken your forsaken hope and look upon your King
A baby born to set you free
Verse 4
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
