O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 844 hymnals Topics: Christ Birth and Infancy; Christ Presence; Christ Saviour; God Grace; Jesus Christ His Birth 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 men on earth.
3 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.
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.
Amen. Scripture: Micah 5:2 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

all seated on the ground,
an angel of the Lord came down,
and glory shone around.

"glad tidings of great joy I bring
to you and all mankind.
3 "To you, in David's town, this day
is born of David's line
a Savior, who is Christ the Lord;
and this shall be the sign:

to human view displayed,
all simply wrapped in swaddling clothes
and in a manger laid."

of angels praising God, who thus
addressed their joyful song:

and to the earth be peace;
to those on whom his favor rests
goodwill shall never cease."
