O little town of bethlehem lyrics

Artist  : Frank sinatra 
Song : O little town of bethlehem
 
Oh little town of bethlehem, how still we see thee
lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent
stars go by
Yet in they 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 wondrous 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 meek souls will receive him still, the dear
christ enters in.

Oh 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 emanuel.
