O little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonightFor Christ is born of MaryAnd gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering loveO morning stars togetherProclaim thy holy birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earthO little town of BethlehemHow still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight
