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 tonight
O Holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend 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)
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord, Emmanuel!
