Song Lyrics


O Little Town of Bethlehem
by Anne Murray

Album: What A Wonderful Christmas


O, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless
Sleep the silent stars go by

Yet in they dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all
The years are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep
The angels keep

Their watch of wondering love
Oh, morning stars together
Proclaim the Holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on Earth

How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The 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
Oh, 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 Emanuel
