O Little Town of Bethlehem

09

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 shine 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 receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in
