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 EVERLASTING 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
WONDERING LOVE
O MORNING STARS
TOGETHER
PROCLAIM THE
HOLY BIRTH
AND PRAISES SING
TO GOD THE KING
AND PEACE TO
MEN ON EARTH
HOW SILENTLY
HOW SILENTLY
THE WONDROUS GIFT
IS GIVEN
SO GOD IMPARTS
TO HUMAN HEARTS
THE BLESSINGS OF
HIS HEAVEN
NO EAR MAY HEAR
HIS COMING
BUT IN THIS
WORLD OF SIN
WHERE MEEK SOULS WILL
RECEIVE HIM STILL
THE DEAR CHRIST
ENTERS IN
THE HOPES AND FEARS
OF ALL THE YEARS
ARE MET
IN THEE TONIGHT
