O little town of Bethlehem |
|
How still we see thee lie |
|
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep |
|
The silent stars go by |
|
Yet in they dark streets shineth |
|
The everlasting light |
|
The hopes and fears of all the years |
|
Are met in thee tonight |
|
Oh holy child of Bethlehem |
|
Descend to us we pray |
|
Cast out our sins and enter in |
|
Be born to us today |
|
O morning starts together |
|
Proclaim thy holy birth |
|
And praises sing to God the King |
|
And peace to men on earth |
|
O hear thy sacred angels |
|
As faith holds wide the door |
|
Then darkness wakes, the glory breaks |
|
As Christmas comes once more |
