O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks (1835-1893) Appears in 851 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 9:15 Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see you lie! Above your deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by; yet, in your dark streets shining the everlasting Light; the hopes and fears of all the years are met in you tonight. 2 O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth and praises sing to God the King, and peace to all on earth. For Christ is born of Mary; and, gathered all above, while mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love. 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. Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN
