-::'''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 tonight.
-::'''2.'''
-:O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth,
-:and praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth;
-:For Christ is born of Mary; and, gathered all above,
-:While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondring love'.
-::'''3.'''
-:How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv'n!
-:So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav'n.
-:No ear may hear his coming; but in this world of sin,
-:Where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in.
-::'''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 Emmanuel.
