O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM Writers Reverend
Phillips Brooks, Lewis H. Redner O little town of
Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie. Above the
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. For Christ is born of Mary,
and gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the
angels keep their watch of wondering love. O
morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth.
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men

Gift is giv'n. So God imparts to human hearts the
blessings of his heav'n. 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 Emanuel.
