O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!

C C/Bb A Dm C/G G C

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by.

C G/B Am E Am Dm/F E

Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;

C F C G C

The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

(verse 2)

C F C G C

For Christ is born of Ma- ry, and gathered all above,

C C/Bb A Dm C/G G C

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond'ring love.

C G/B Am E Am Dm/F E

O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth,

C F C G C

And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently the wondrous Gift is giv'n!

C C/Bb A Dm C/G G C

So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His Heav'n.

No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,

C F C G C

Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray;

C C/Bb A Dm C/G G C

Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today.

We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;

C F C G C

O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel.
