| |
| − | | |
| − | 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 streets shineth
| |
| − | | |
| − | The everlasting Light;
| |
| − | | |
| − | The hopes and fears of all the years
| |
| − | | |
| − | Are met in thee to-night.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | O morning stars, together
| |
| − | | |
| − | Proclaim the holy birth!
| |
| − | | |
| − | And praises sing to God the King,
| |
| − | | |
| − | And peace to men on earth.
| |
| − | | |
| − | For Christ is born of Mary,
| |
| − | | |
| − | And gathered all above,
| |
| − | | |
| − | While mortals sleep, the angels keep
| |
| − | | |
| − | Their watch of wondering love.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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
| |
| − | | |
| − | The dear Christ enters in.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | Where children pure and happy
| |
| − | | |
| − | Pray to the blessed Child,
| |
| − | | |
| − | Where misery cries out to thee,
| |
| − | | |
| − | Son of the mother mild;
| |
| − | | |
| − | Where charity stands watching
| |
| − | | |
| − | And faith holds wide the door,
| |
| − | | |
| − | The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
| |
| − | | |
| − | And Christmas comes once more.
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | O holy child of Bethlehem!
| |
| − | | |
| − | Descend to us, we pray;
| |
| − | | |
| − | Cast out our sin and enter in,
| |
| − | | |
| − | Be born in us to-day.
| |
| − | | |
| − | We hear the Christmas angels
| |
| − | | |
| − | The great glad tidings tell;
| |
| − | | |
| − | O come to us, abide with us,
| |
| − | | |
| − | Our Lord Emmanuel!
