O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics by Jaci Velasquez

O Little Town Of Bethlehem

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
http://alwaysjacichristmas.tripod.com/picwhitedress10.jpg The silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently the wonderous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin
Where meeks souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel [Emmanuel...Emmanuel]
