O little town of Bethlehem   How still we see the lie   Above thy deep and dreamless sleep   The silent stars go by      Yet in thy dark streets shineth   The ever lasting light   The hopes and fears of all the years   Are met in the tonight      For Christ is born of Mary   And gathered all above   (Gathered all above)   While mortals sleep, the angels keep   Their watch of wandering love      O morning stars, together   Proclaim the Holy birth   And praises sing to God the King   And peace to men on earth      O Holy Child of Bethlehem   (O Holy Child of Bethlehem)   Descend to us, we pray   (Descend to us, we pray)   Cast out our sin and enter in   (Cast out our sin and enter in)   Be born in us today      We hear the Christmas angels   (We hear the Christmas angels)   The great glad tidings tell   (The great glad tidings tell)      O come to us, abide with us   (O come to us, abide with us)   Our Lord Immanuel   (Our Lord Immanuel)   And peace to men on earth
