O Little Town Lyrics - Amy Grant

(Traditional (lyrics) and Chris Eaton (music)) 

O little town of Bethlehem 

How still we see thee lie 

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 

The silent stars go by 

Yet in thy dark streets shineth 

The everlasting light 

The hopes and fears of all the years 

Are met in thee tonight 

How silently, how silently 

The wondrous gift is given 

So God imparts to human hearts 

We hear the Christmas angels 

The great glad tidings tell 

O come to us, abide with us 

Our Lord Immanuel But in this world of sin 

Where meek souls will receive Him still 

The dear Christ enters in.
