O little town of bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by

Yet in the dark street 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, let glory ring

And peace to all on earth.

O holy child of bethlehem

Descend to us, we pray

Cast out our sin, 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

Oh, come to us, abide with us

Our lord immanuel.
