oh little town of bethlehem
Singer:rick springfield
o little town of bethlehem
how still we see thee lie. above thy deep and dreamless sleep
yet in thy dark streets shineth
the hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight. for christ is born of mary
their watch of wondering love. o morning stars
proclaim the holy birth. and praises sing to god the king. and peace to men on earth. how silently
the wondrous gift is given!
so god imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heaven. no ear may hear his coming;
where meek souls will receive him
still the dear christ enters in. where children
pray to the blessed child;
where misery cries out to thee
where charity stands watching
and faith holds wide the door
and christmas comes once more. o holy child of bethlehem
cast out our sin and enter in;
we hear the christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
