O Little Town Of Bethlehem / O Little Town Of Bethlehem How Still We See Thee Lie [#OLittleTown #LittleTown #LittleTownOfBethlehem #TownOfBethlehem #OLittleTownOfBethlehem]
Song based on the Bible verse:
Micah 5:2
“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah,
Yet out of you shall come forth to Me
The One to be Ruler in Israel,
Whose goings forth are from of old,
From everlasting.”
Song written by:

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 giv’n
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His Heav’n
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

Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessèd Child
Where misery cries out to Thee
Son of the mother mild
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door
The dark night wakes the glory breaks
And Christmas comes once more

Cast out our sin and enter in

The great glad tidings tell
