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 street shineth The everlasting light The hopes andfears 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 wondering love O morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to all on earth |
