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 How silently, how silently This 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 O holy Child of Bethlehem Descend on us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Be born in us today We hear the Christmas angels Their great glad tidings tell Oh, come to us, abide in us Our Lord Immanuel Oh, come to us, abide in us Our Lord Immanuel
