O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie 
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 
The silent stars go by 

Yet in they 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

O morning starts together 
Proclaim thy holy birth 
And praises sing to God the King 
And peace to men on earth
