And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men 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 Emmanuel. Languages: English Tune Title: [O little town of Bethlehem]
