Verse 1:
O [F]little town of [A#]Bethlehem
How still [C7]we see thee lie
[G]Above [D#]thy [D]deep and [Gm]dreamless sleep
The [C7]silent stars go [F]by
Yet in thy dark street [A7]shineth
The everlasting [A7]Light
The [F]hopes and fears of [A#]all the years
Are [F]met in [C7]thee to [F]night
Verse 2:
For [F]Christ is born of [A#]Mary
And ga [C7]thered all above
While [F]mor [D#]tals [D]sleep, the [Gm]angels keep
Their [C7]watch of wond'ring [F]love
O morning stars, to [A7]gether
Proclaim the holy [A7]birth
And [F]praises sing to [A#]God the King
And [F]peace to [C7]men on [F]earth
Verse 3:
How [F]silently, how [A#]silently
The wond [C7]rous Gift is giv'n
So [F]God [D#]im [D]parts to [Gm]human hearts
The [C7]blessings of His [F]heav'n
No ear may hear His [A7]coming
But in this world of [A7]sin
Where [F]meek souls will re [A#]ceive Him still
The [F]dear Christ [C7]enters [F]in
Verse 4:
O [F]holy Child of [A#]Bethlehem
Descend [C7]on us, we pray
Cast [F]out [D#]our [D]sin, and [Gm]enter in
Be [C7]born in us to [F]day
We hear the Christmas [A7]angels
The great glad tidings [A7]tell
Oh, [F]come to us, [G]abide with us
Our [F]Lord [C7]Emmanuel [F]
