D        Em        D            
O little town of Bethlehem
    D        A7       D
How still we see thee lie
 D        Em        D
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
    D      A        D
The silent stars go by
D          G            D     A
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
D        G       A
The everlasting Light
 D                     Em        D
The hopes and fears of all the years
    D      A      D
Are met in thee tonight
 
 D        Em        D
For Christ is born of Mary
    D        A7   D
And gathered all above
 D        Em        D
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
      D        A         D
Their watch of wondering love
 D     G        D     A
O morning stars together
D        G       A
Proclaim the holy birth
 D                  Em        D
And praises sing to God the King
    D        A      D
And Peace to men on earth
 
 D        Em        D
How silently, how silently
    D        A7      D
The wondrous gift is given!
 D        Em        D
So God imparts to human hearts
    D         A      D
The blessings of His heaven.
D          G        D     A
No ear may hear His coming,
D        G       A
But in this world of sin,
 D                     Em        D
Where meek souls will receive him still,
    D           A      D
The dear Christ enters in.
 
  D             Em
O holy Child of Bethlehem
  D        A7     D
Descend to us, we pray
  D        Em        D
Cast out our sin and enter in
   D       A    D
Be born to us today
D           G         D     A
We hear the Christmas angels
D        G       A
The great glad tidings tell
 D             Em        D
O come to us, abide with us
    D      A   D
Our Lord Emmanuel
