O little town
Of Bethlehem
Still we see thee lie
Above thy deep
And dreamless sleep
Silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets
Shining
Everlasting light
The hopes, the fears
All the years
Are met in thee tonight
O little town
Of Bethlehem
Still we see thee lie
Above thy deep
And dreamless sleep
Silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets shining
The everlasting light
The hopes and the fears
Of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
How silently
How silently
A wonderous gift is given
And God imparts
To human hearts
A blessing of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
In this world of sin
Where week souls
Will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in
Yet in the dark streets
Shining
Everlasting light
The hopes, the fears
All the years
Are met
In thee
Tonight
