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;
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.

Verse 2
For Christ is born of Mary,
and, gathered all above
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wond’ring love.
O morning stars, together
proclaim the holy birth,
and praises sing to voices ring
with peace to all on earth.

Refrain
O come to us, abide with us.

Verse 3
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv’n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the glorious love of heav’n.
No one discerns God's coming,
but in this world of sin,
where yearning souls long to be whole,
the dear Christ enters in.
