O Little Town of Bethlehem

O Little Town of Bethlehem
LSB 361-1 
O little town of Bethlehem,How still we see thee
lie!Above thy deep and dreamless sleepThe
silent stars go byYet in the dark streets
shinethThe everlasting light.The hopes and
fears of all the yearsAre met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary,And, gathered all
aboveWhile mortals sleep, the angels keepTheir
watch of wondring love.O morning stars
togetherProclaim the holy birth,And praises
sing to God the king,And peace to all the earth!

How silently, how silentlyThe wondrous gift is
givn!So God imparts to human heartsThe
blessings of his heavn.No ear may hear his
comingBut in this world of sin,Where meek
souls will receive him, stillThe dear Christ
enters in.

prayCast out our sin, and enter in,Be born in
us today.We hear the Christmas angelsThe great
glad tidings tellOh, come to us, abide with
us,Our Lord Immanuel!
