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 to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Our God with us Emmanuel
A baby Boy our Savior lives
Light of the world in Bethlehem
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
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Our God with us Emmanuel
A baby Boy our Savior lives
Light of the world In Bethlehem
Come enter in, Christ enter in
O Son of God please enter in
A baby Boy our Savior lives
Light of the world In Bethlehem
Emmanuel, Emmanuel
Our God with us Emmanuel
A baby Boy our Savior lives
Light of the world In Bethlehem
Light of the world In Bethlehem
