Rebecca St. James - O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics

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, 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 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, Emmanuel Emmanuel, Emmanuel Emmanuel
