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 to-night.
 
 
 
 
 
O morning stars, together
 
 
 
Proclaim the holy birth!
 
 
 
And praises sing to God the King,
 
 
 
And peace to men on earth.
 
 
 
For Christ is born of Mary,
 
 
 
And gathered all above,
 
 
 
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
 
 
 
Their watch of wondering love.
 
 
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
 
 
Where children pure and happy
 
 
 
Pray to the blessed Child,
 
 
 
Where misery cries out to thee,
 
 
 
Son of the mother mild;
 
 
 
Where charity stands watching
 
 
 
And faith holds wide the door,
 
 
 
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
 
 
 
And Christmas comes once more.
 
 
 
 
 
O holy child of Bethlehem!
 
 
 
Descend to us, we pray;
 
 
 
Cast out our sin and enter in,
 
 
 
Be born in us to-day.
 
 
 
We hear the Christmas angels
 
 
 
The great glad tidings tell;
 
 
 
O come to us, abide with us,
 
 
 
Our Lord Emmanuel!
