AMY GRANT - O Little Town lyrics

O little town of bethlehem<br>How still we see thee lie<br>Above thy deep and dreamless sleep<br>The silent stars go by<br>Yet in thy dark streets shineth<br>The everlasting light<br>The hopes and fears of all the years<br>Are met in thee tonight<br><br>How silently, how silently<br>The wondrous gift is given<br>So God imparts to human hearts<br>The blessings of his heaven<br>We hear the christmas angels<br>The great glad tidings tell<br>O come to us, abide with us<br>Our lord emmanuel<br><br>No ear may hear his coming<br>But in this world of sin<br>Where meek souls will receive him<br>Still the dear christ enters in.
