Songtext von O Little Town of Bethlehem

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 to-night. O holy Child of Bethlehem! Descend to us, we pray; Cast out our sin and enter in, Be born in us to-day. (We hear the Christmas angels) (The great glad tidings tell;) O come to us, abide with us, Our Lord, Emmanuel!..
