O Little Town of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem how still we see Thee lie Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by Yet in Thy dark street shineth the everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years are met in Thee tonight For Christ is born of merry and gathered all above While mortal sleepy angels keep their watch of wondering love All morning stars together proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the king and peace to men on earth [ organ ] O holy Child of Bethlehem descent to us we pray Cast out our sin and 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 Emmanuel
