Verse 1:
   C              F
Oh little town of Bethlehem
    C/G        G        C
How still we see thee lie
 C                  F
Above the dark and dreamless sleep
    C/G      G       C
The silent stars go by
  G/B    Am                  Em
     Yet in thy dark streets shineth
    F     G     F/A   G/B  Esus   E
The ev  - er - last - ing   light
    C                   F
The hopes and fears of all the years
    C/G      G      C
Are met in thee tonight

Verse 2:
        C              F
For Christ is born of Mary
     C/G     G      C
And gathered all above
        C                 F
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
       C/G        G        C
Their watch of wond'ring love.
G/B   Am               Em
   O morning stars, together
      F   G   F/A  G/B     Esus E
Proclaim the  ho - ly     Birth!
    C                F
And praises sing to God the King
    C/G       G      C
And peace to men on earth!

Verse 3:
    C             F
How silently, how silently,
    C/G        G       C
The wondrous gift is given;
     C              F
So God imparts to human hearts
    C/G         G      C
The blessings of His Heaven.
G/B   Am               Em
   No ear may hear His coming,
     F  G    F/A  G/B   Esus E
But in this world of    sin,
      C                 F
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
    C/G           G      C
The dear Christ enters in.

Verse 4:
 C             F
Oh holy child of Bethlehem,
     C/G    G      C
Descend on us we pray;
       C              F
Cast out our sin and enter in
   C/G     G     C
Be born in us today.
G/B   Am                  Em
   We hear the Christmas angels,
       F      G   F/A  G/B   Esus E
Their great glad  ti - dings tell,
     C            F
Oh come to us, abide in us,
     C/G    G  C
Our lord, Emmanuel.
