[00:27.55] Oh little town of Bethlehem
[00:31.51] Looks like another silent night
[00:34.35]
[00:40.02] Above your deep and dreamless sleep
[00:43.56] A giant star lights up the sky
[00:47.45]
[00:52.58] And while you're lying in the dark
[00:56.96] There shines an everlasting light
[01:02.14]
[01:05.38] For the King has left His throne
[01:09.17] And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight
[01:16.47]
[01:17.81] Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed
[01:21.58] while you were sleeping
[01:24.08] For God became a man
[01:26.37] And stepped into your world today
[01:29.52]
[01:30.52] Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
[01:36.26] As a city with no room for its King
[01:41.64] While you were sleeping
[01:46.86] While you were sleeping
[01:53.33]
[01:57.34] Mary shivers in the cold
[02:01.26] Trying to keep the Savior warm
[02:06.59]
[02:09.63] Born among the animals wrapped in dirty rags
[02:15.99] Because there was no room for Him
[02:18.62] in the world He came to save
[02:22.40]
[02:23.23] Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed
[02:26.22] while you were sleeping
[02:28.94] For God became a man
[02:31.08] And stepped into your world today
[02:34.42]
[02:35.42] Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
[02:40.78] As a city with no room for its King
[02:46.30] While you were sleeping
[02:51.73] While you were sleeping
[02:57.67]
[03:01.63] United States of America
[03:05.77] Looks like another silent night
[03:09.63]
[03:14.51] As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
[03:18.11] That save the trees and kill the children
[03:23.47]
[03:27.29] And while we're lying in the dark
[03:31.17] There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
[03:36.14]
[03:40.16] For the Bridegroom has returned
[03:43.82] And has carried His bride away in the night
[03:50.85]
[03:52.53] America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
[03:59.23] Will Jesus come again
[04:01.55] And leave us slumbering where we lay
[04:04.73]
[04:05.67] America, will we go down in history
[04:10.02] As a nation with no room for its King
[04:16.80] Will we be sleeping
[04:22.38] Will we be sleeping
[04:27.78]
[04:32.54] United States of America
[04:36.56] Looks like another silent night
[04:40.25]
