Lyrics

[Verse 1]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
[Verse 2]
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
[Verse 3]
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While  mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
[Verse 4]
Oh, morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
And peace to men on Earth
Written by: Lewis Redner, Phillips Brooks
