Intro:
D Ddim D Em/G
1. O little town of Bethlehem,
2. For Christ is born of Mary,
3. How silent- - ly, how silently,
4. O holy Child of Bethlehem,
D/A A7 D
How still we see thee lie!
And gathered all above,
The wondrous Gift is giv’n;
De–scend to us, we pray;
D7/C B Esus Em Em/G
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
While mortals sleep, the an - gels keep
So God im - parts to hu - man hearts
Cast out our sin, and en - ter in–
D A7sus A7 D
The silent stars go by.
Their watch of won - dering love.
The blessings of His heav’n.
Be born in us to - - day.
C#dim/E E#dim7 F#
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
O morning stars to- - - gether,
No ear may hear His coming,
We hear the Christ–mas angels
Em/B Em/C# Em/D Em F#
The ev- - er- - last–ing Light;
Pro-claim the ho- - ly birth,
But in this world of sin,
The great glad tid - ings tell;
D Ddim D Em/G
The hopes and fears of all the years
And praises sing to God the King,
Where meek souls will re-ceive Him still,
O come to us, a–bide with us,
D A7sus A7 D
Are met in thee to - night.
And peace to men on earth!
The dear Christ en - - - ters in.
Our Lord Im - - man- - - u- - el!
