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 and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight
O holy Child of Bethlehem descent to us we pray
Cast out our sins and enter in be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell
Oh come to us abide with us our Lord Emmanuel
Yet in Thy dark street shineth...
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
