Verse 1:
  G              Am
O little town of Bethlehem,
    G        D        G
how still we see thee lie
 G                 Am
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    G      D        G
the silent stars go by.
Em                      Bm
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
    Am          D
the everlasting light;
    G                  Am
the hopes and fears of all the years
    G      D      G
are met in thee tonight.

Verse 2:
  G              Am
O morning stars, together
    G        D        G
proclaim the holy birth,
    G               Am
and praises sing to God the king,
    G      D       G
and peace upon the earth.
    Em                Bm
For Christ is born of Mary
    Am           D
and gathered all above
      G                  Am
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
      G        D         G
Their watch of wond’ring love.

Verse 3:
    G             Am
How silently, how silently
    G         D       G
the wonderous gift is given,
   G              Am
So God imparts to human hearts,
    G         D       G
the blessings of  His heav'n.
   Em               Bm
No ear may hear his coming
    Am               D
but in this world of sin
      G               Am
Where meek souls will receive him still
    G           D      G
The dear Christ enters in.

Verse 4:
  G             Am
O holy Child of Bethlehem
  G        D       G
descend to us   we pray

    G         D     G
Our Lord Em - man u el.
