Jeremy Camp - O Little Town of Bethlehem lyrics

Your rating:

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

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love

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

Hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah to the Lord

O 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
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Hallelujah to the Lord
Hallelujah to the Lord
Emmanuel
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to the Lord

O Little Town Of Bethlehem' is geschreven door de Amerikaan Philip Brooks in 1868. Hij was voorganger in de Episcopale Kerk. In 1865 bezocht hij Bethlehem.
Philip was zo onder de indruk dat hij voor zijn kerk dit lied schreef. De organist van zijn kerk, Lewis Redner, componeerde de muziek.
