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
