O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem 
How still we see thee lie! 
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 
The silent stars go by 
Yet in thy dark streets shineth 
The ever lasting 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 wandering love 
O morning stars, together 
Proclaim the holy birth 
And praises sing to God the King 
And peace to men on earth

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 Immanuel! 
And peace to men on earth
