1. O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee lie!Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe silent stars go by;Yet in thy darkness shinethThe everlasting Light;The hopes and fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.2. For Christ is born of Mary,And fathered all above,While mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir watch of wondering love.O morning stars, togetherProclaim the holy birthAnd praises sing to God, the King,And peace to men on earth.3. How silently, how silently,The wondrous Gift is given!So God imparts to human heartsThe 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.Songtexte4. 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 angelsThe great glad tidings tell:Oh, come to us, abide with us,Our Lord Immanuel!
