L1: O lit - tle town of Beth - le - hem, how still we see thee lie; a - bove thy deep and dream - less sleep the si - lent stars go by.
L2: For Christ is born of Ma - ry, and gath - ered all a - bove, while mor - tals sleep, the an - gels keep their watch of won - der - ing love.
L3: How si - lent - ly, how si - lent - ly, the won - drous gift is given; so God im - parts to hu - man hearts the bless - ings of his heaven.
L4: O ho - ly Child of Beth - le - hem, de - scend to us, we pray; cast out our sin, and en - ter in, be born in us to - day.
