O Little Town of Bethlehem
Lewis H Redner, Phillip Brooks
Oh, 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 streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
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
Our dear Christ enters in
Yet in the dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
