Verse 1

O little town of Bethlehem
How still you seem tonight
Unaware in dreamless sleep
As silent stars go by

Verse 2

That in your dark street shines now
The everlasting light
The darkest fears of all the years
Meet hope this glorious night

Chorus

Let the whole Earth sing
Of its newborn King
Hope found a birthplace
This glorious night
O town of Bethlehem

Verse 3

For Christ was born of Mary
A gift from Heaven above
The whole world slept not knowing yet
The measure of this love

Verse 4

But we who know the story
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King
And peace to men on Earth

Chorus

Let the whole Earth sing
Of its newborn King
Hope found a birthplace
This glorious night
O town of Bethlehem

Refrain

Oooh ooh
Oooh ooh
Come and dwell with us
Our Lord Emmanuel

Verse 5

Where children loved and happy
Sing of the blessed Babe
Where misery can still find hope
By whispering His name

Verse 6

Where charity’s extended
And love and open door
The cold night waits
The glory breaks
As Christmas comes once more
