O Little Town of Bethlehem

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

The angel voices sing
Proclaim the early morn'
And children pure and happy
Await the break of dawn

While charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door
The dark night wakes the glory bricks
And Christmas comes once more
