::'''1.'''
: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.
 
::'''2.'''
: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 wondring love'.
 
::'''3.'''
:How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is giv'n!
:So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of his heav'n.
:No ear may hear his coming; but in this world of sin,
:Where meek souls will receive him, still the dear Christ enters in.
 
::'''4.'''
: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.
