The Staple Singers - O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics

[The Staple Singers - O Little Town Of Bethlehem lyrics]

Oh, 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
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
Where children pure and happy pray
To the blessed Child
Where misery cries out to thee
Son of the mother mild
Where charity stands watching and faith
Holds wide the door
The dark night wakes
The glory breaks and Christmas
Comes once more
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
Oh, come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
