O Little Town of Bethlehem lyrics

[Verse 1]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by

[Verse 2]
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love

[Verse 4]
O morning stars together
Proclaim thy holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
