O Little Town Of Bethlehem

from Carbuncular Christmas! by Paul Carbuncle

/

lyrics

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.

O morning stars together proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth,
For Christ is born of Mary, and, gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love.

How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive him still the dear Christ enters in.

Where children pure and happy pray to the blessed child,
Where misery cries out to thee, son of the mother mild,
Where charity stands watching and faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks, and Christmas comes once more.

O holy child of Bethlehem, descend on 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!
