Oh little town of Bethlehem how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars
Yet in thy dark streets shin the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight
