  1. Hymn 302 O little town of Bethlehem

  2. 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 hope and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

  3. 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 men on earth.

  4. 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 is coming; but in this world of sin, where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in.

  5. 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 Immanuel. Phillips Brooks 1835-1893
