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 street shine The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight {Non-compositional} For Christ is born of Mary And gathered all above While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wandering love Oh, morning stars together Proclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth Oh holy Child of Bethlehem Descend to us, we pray Cast out our sin and enter in Reborn in us today We hear the Christmas angels Their great glad tidings tell Oh come to us, abide with us Our Lord, Emmanuel
