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 our King
And peace
to men on earth
