===========O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM
Phillip Brooks, Lewis H. Redner. publ.1868
(Starting note:a) 

O little town of Bethlehem, [F Fdim F Gm]
How still we see thee lie; [F C7 F]
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, [F D7 Gm]
The silent stars go by. [F C7 F]
Yet in thy dark streets shineth [F F F#dim Gm G#dim A4 A7]
The everlasting light; [Dm A F Gm A4 A] 
The hopes and fears of all the years [F Fdim F Gm]
Are met in thee tonight. [F Bb F C7 F]


For Christ is born of Mary, [F Fdim F Gm]
And gather'd all above [F C7 F]
While mortals sleep, the angels keep [F D7 Gm]
Their watch of wond'ring love. [F C7 F]
O morning stars together [F F F#dim Gm G#dim A4 A7]
Proclaim the holy birth [Dm A F Gm A4 A] 
And praises sing to God the King [F Fdim F Gm]
And peace to men on earth. [F C7 F]
