O Little Town of Bethlehem
by Rebecca St. James

Album: The Essential Christmas Collection

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
 
How silently X2
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
 
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
 
Emmanuel repeat
