o little town Of Bethlehem,
How still We see thee liei
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go hy;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The e7erlasting light
The hops 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 loEei

Proclaim the holy birth,
And praises sing TO God, the King.
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift b given.

The blessing o. his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming.
But In this world Of sin.
Where meek souls viii receive him still,
The dear CHRIST enters in.
