[Verse 1]
O Glittle town of AmBethlehem,
how Gstill we D7see thee Glie
Above thy Edeep and Amdreamless sleep
the Gsilent Dstars go Gby.
Yet in thy Amdark streets B7shineth
the Emeverlasting B7light;
the Ghopes and G7fears of Amall the years
are Gmet in D7thee toGnight.
[Verse 2]
O Gmorning stars, toAmgether
proGclaim the D7holy Gbirth,
and praises Esing to AmGod the king,
and Gpeace uDpon the Gearth.
For Christ is Emborn of B7Mary
and Emgathered all B7above
While Gmortals G7sleep, the Amangels keep
Their Gwatch of D7wond’ring Glove.
[Verse 3]
How Gsilently, how Amsilently
the Gwonderous D7gift is Ggiven,
So God Eimparts to Amhuman hearts,
the Gblessings Dof His Gheav'n.
No ear may Emhear his B7coming
but Emin this world of B7sin
Where Gmeek souls G7will receAmive him still
The dGear Christ D7enters Gin.
[Verse 4]
O Gholy Child of AmBethlehem
deGscend to D7us we Gpray
cast out our Esins and Amenter in,
be Gborn in Dus toGday.
We hear the EmChristmas B7angels
the Emgreat glad tidings B7tell
O - Gcome to G7us aAmbide with Am/Dus
Our GLord E-D7ma-nu-Gel.
