Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie?
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go byYet in thy dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonightFor Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wandering loveOh morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earthOh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie?
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go byYet in thy dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonightYet in thy dark street shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
Oh little town of Bethlehem
