G Bm Em C
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
G D G
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by;
Bm Em Am D G D/F# Em
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting Light;
C G D G
The hopes and fears of all the years, are met in thee tonight.
Chorus:
G D/F# Em C D Em
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,
C G
While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wondering love.
G D/F# Em C D Em
O morning stars together, proclaim the holy birth,
C G
And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth.
