O Little Town Of Bethlehem

	1. 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 darkness shineth
	The everlasting
	Light;The hopes and fears of all the years
	Are met in thee tonight.2.
	For Christ is born of
	Mary,And fathered 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.3.
	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.4.
	O holy Child of
	Bethlehem,
	Descend to us, we pray;
	Cast out our sin 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 Immanuel!
