Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lieAbove thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go byYet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting lightThe hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all aboveWhile mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering loveOh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lieAbove thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go byYet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting lightThe hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
