OH LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHAM

Christmas

Oh, little town of Bethleham,
how still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
the silent stars go by.

Yet, in thy dark street shineth,
the everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years,
are met in thee tonight!

For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep,
their watch of wandering love.

Oh, morning stars together,
proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God our King,
and peace to men on Earth.

Oh, holy child of Bethleham,
decend to us we pray.
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels,
thy great glad tidings tell.
Oh, come to us, abide in us,
oh Lord be magnified!

Oh, little town of Bethleham,
how still we see thee lie.
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
the silent stars go by.

Yet, in thy dark street shineth,
the everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years,
are met in thee tonight!
