O little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet, in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting LightThe hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight For Christ is born of MaryAnd gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch on wondering love O morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth O little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet, in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting LightThe hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight
