O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics - Light Of The Stable - Emmylou Harris

O little town of Bethlehem, 

How still we see the 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 to-night. 

For Christ is born of Mary, 

And gathered all above, 

While mortals sleep, the angels keep 

Their watch of wondering love. 

O 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.
