VERSE 1 
 
F5                         C5                            D5       Bb5 
Oh little town of Bethlehem , Looks like another silent night 
F5                              C5                              D5  Bb5 
Above your deep and dreamless sleep a giant star lights up the sky 
F5                         C5           D5                     Bb5 
And while you?re lyin? in the dark there shines an everlasting light 
F5                   C5             D5              Bb5 
For the king has left his throne and is sleeping in a manger tonight,  tonight 
 

F5           C5                      D5                Bb5 
Oh Bethlehem , what you have missed while you were sleeping 
F5           C5                  D5               Bb5 
For God became a man and stepped into your world today 
F5           C5         D5                  Bb5 
Oh Bethlehem , you will go down in history 
F5      C5           D5               Bb5 
As a city with no room for its King,  
F5              C5       D5      Bb5 
While you were sleeping 
F5              C5       D5      Bb5 
While you were sleeping 
 
VERSE 2 (Same as verse 1) 
Oh little town of Jerusalem  
Looks like another silent night  
The Father gave His only Son  
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come  
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save  
 
Jerusalem , what you have missed while you were sleeping  
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today  
Jerusalem , you will go down in history  
As a city with no room for its King  
While you were sleeping  
While you were sleeping  
 
VERSE 3 (Same as verses 1 & 2) 
United States of America  
Looks like another silent night  
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies  
That save the trees and kill the children  
And while we're lying in the dark  
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky  
For the Bridegroom has returned  
And has carried His bride away in the night, in the night  
 
America, what will we miss while we are sleeping  
Will Jesus come again  
And leave us slumbering where we lay  
America, will we go down in history  
As a nation with no room for its King  
Will we be sleeping  
Will we be sleeping  
 
ENDING (Same as beginning of verse 3) 
United States of America  
Looks like another silent night
