Hymn/Christmas carol
O Little Town of Bethlehem

1.   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.

2.   For Christ is born of Mary;
      And gathered all above,
      While mortals sleep, the angels keep
      Their watch of wond'ring love.
      O morning stars, together
      Proclaim the holy birth
      And praises sing to God, the King
      And peace to men on earth.

3.   How silently, how silently,
      The wondrous gift is giv'n!
      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.


“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty
things, which you do not know.”
Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJ)
