[V1]
D G
Oh little town of Bethlehem
D A D
How still we see thee lie
B Em
Above the dark and dreamless sleep
D A D
The silent stars go by ||
B F#
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
G F#
The everlasting light
D D7 G
The hopes and fears of all the years
D A D
Are met in thee tonight
[V2]
D G
For Christ is born of Mary,
D A D
And gathered all above, ||
B Em
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
D A D
Their watch of wondering love. ||
B F#
O morning stars, together
G F#
Proclaim the holy birth! ||
D D7 G
And praises sing to God the King,
D A D
And peace to men on earth.
[V3]
D G
How silently, how silently,
D A D
The wondrous gift is given;
B Em
So God imparts to human hearts
D A D
The blessings of His Heaven. ||
B F#
No ear may hear His coming,
G F#
But in this world of sin,
D D7 G
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
D A D
The dear Christ enters in.
[V4]
D G
Oh holy child of Bethlehem,
D A D
Descend on us we pray;
B Em
Cast out our sin and enter in
D A D
Be born in us today. ||
B F#
We hear the Christmas angels,
G F#
Their great glad tidings tell,
D D7 G
Oh come to us, abide in us,
D A D
Our lord, Emanuel.
