Verse 1:
GEmCDG
O little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
GEmCDG
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
GEmGA7D
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
GEmCDG
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
Verse 2:
GEmCDG
O morning stars together proclaim the Holy birth
GEmCDG
And praises sing to God the King and Peace to men on earth
GEmGA7D
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
GEmCDG
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Verse 3:
GEmCDG
How silently, how silently the wondrous gift is given
GEmCDG
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven
GEmGA7D
No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin
GEmCDG
Where meek souls will receive him still the dear Christ enters in
Verse 4:
GEmCDG
O holy Child of Bethlehem descend to us we pray
GEmCDG
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born to us today
GEmGA7D
We hear the Christmas angels, the great glad tidings tell
GEmCDG
O come to us abide with us, Our Lord Emmanuel
