##(Verse 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 t onight. ##(Verse 2) For Christ is born of Mary, And gather'd all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wond'ring love. O morning stars t ogether Pr oclaim the holy birth And praises sing to God the King And peace to men on earth.
