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.
