O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by;
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 wond’ring 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.
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray.
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today!
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O, come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light:
The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight.
