O little town of Bethlehem

Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-93 Hymnal: Together in Song #316 (1999) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Christmas Eve 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 For Christ is born of Mary; and, gathered all above, while mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering 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 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 their great glad tidings tell; O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel. Scripture: Luke 2:8-14 Languages: English Tune Title: FORET GREEN
