Verse 1:

O little town of Bethlehem,

how still we see thee lie!

Above they deep and dreamless sleep

the silent stars go by.

Yet in thy dark streets shineth

the everlasting light;

the hopes and fears of all the years

are met in thee tonight.

Verse 2:

For Christ is born of Mary

And, gathered all a bove,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars, to gether

Proclaim the holy birth,

And praises sing to God the king, 

And peace to all on earth.

Verse 4:

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!
