(verse 1) 
  C5              F5              C5        G5        C5 
O little town of Bethlehem , how still we see thee lie! 
 C5    C5 A5        D5                   C5    G5        C5 
Above thy  deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by. 
C5          G5   A5      E5            A5     D5  E5  
Yet in thy dark  streets shineth  the everlasting  Light; 
    C5                  F5                 C5      G5    C5 
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. 
 
(verse 2) 
C5             F5       C5           G5            C5 
For Christ is born of Ma- ry, and gathered all above, 
 C5    C5    A5          D5                 C5      G5         C5 
While mortals sleep, the angels keep  their watch of wond'ring love. 
C5          G5   A5  E5        A5        D5  E5  
O morning stars, together  proclaim the holy birth, 
    C5               F5                 C5        G5      C5 
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth. 
 
(verse 3) 
C5                 F5             C5        G5       C5 
How silently, how silently  the wondrous Gift is giv'n! 
 C5    C5  A5     D5                C5       G5      C5 
So God imparts to human hearts  the blessings of His Heav'n. 
C5          G5   A5  E5           A5      D5     E5  
No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin, 
      C5                 F5                    C5           G5      C5 
Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in. 
 
(verse 4) 
C5               F5             C5       G5      C5 
O holy Child of Bethlehem , descend to us, we pray; 
 C5    C5   A5       D5           C5     G5    C5 
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today. 
C5           G5   A5  E5           A5    D5         E5  
We hear the Christmas angels  the great glad tidings tell; 
  C5             F5                  C5      G5    C5 
O come to us,  abide with us,  our Lord Emmanuel.
