Deutsche Wehnachtslieder — Oh Little Town of Betlehem lyrics

Lyrics

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
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
O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in Be born to us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us Our Lord Emmanuel
