Oh little town of Bethlehem

Oh little town of Bethlehem,
how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
the silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets 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 wondering love
Oh morning stars togethen
proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king,
and peace to men on earth.
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.
