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.

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 God the King,
And peace to all on earth!

3 How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heav'n.
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 Immanuel!

1 ¡Oh, aldehuela de Belén!
Afortunada tú,
pues en tus campos brilla hoy
la sempiterna luz.
El Hijo tan deseado
con santa expectación,
el anunciado Salvador
en ti, Belén, nació.

2 Allá do el Redentor nació
los ángeles están
velando todos con amor
al niño sin igual.
¡Estrellas rutilantes,
a Dios la gloria dad!
Pues hoy el cielo nos mostró
Su buena voluntad.

3 Calladamente Dios nos da
su incomparable don;
así también impartirá
Sus bendiciones hoy.
Ningún oído acaso
perciba su venir,
mas el de humilde corazón
le habrá de recibir.

4 ¡Oh Santo Niño de Belén!
Desciende con tu paz;
en nuestras almas nace hoy
limpiando todo mal.
Los ángeles del cielo
te anuncian al nacer;
¡ven con nosotros a morar,
oh Cristo, Emanuel!
