O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Hymnal: Voices United #64 (1996) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Topics: Peace (Inner, Calmness, Serenity Lyrics: 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 wondering love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to God the King,
and peace to all on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessed gift of 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.
4 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.

Brings the night its peace profound;
Let our vesper hymn be blending

With the holy calm around.
2 Soon as dies the sunset glory,
Stars of heaven shine out above,
Telling still the ancient story—
Their Creator's changeless love.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
Telling still the ancient story—
Their Creator's changeless love.
3 Now, our wants and burdens leaving
To His care who cares for all,
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving:
At His touch our burdens fall.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
Cease we fearing, cease we grieving:
At His touch our burdens fall.
4 As the darkness deepens o'er us,
Lo! eternal stars arise;
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the spirit's skies.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
Shining in the spirit's skies.
Amen. Scripture: Genesis 1:16 Tune Title: VESPER HYMN

steps unto heaven;
all that thou sendest me
in mercy given;
angels to beckon me
nearer, my God, to thee,

bright with thy praise,
out of my stony griefs
Bethel I'll raise;
so by my woes to be
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee.

cleaving the sky,
sun, moon, and stars forgot,
upward I fly,
still all my song shall be,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer, my God, to thee,
nearer to thee! Languages: English Tune Title: BETHANY

Thou reignest God adored;
And in the coming glory
Thou shalt be Sovereign Lord.

The everlasting Light;
Ineffable in loving,
Unthinkable in might.

Thy secrets dost unfold;

In every clime or coast,
In name of God the Father,
And Son, and Holy Ghost.
