  1. O Little Town Of Bethlehem

  2. O Little Town Of Bethlehem (Kirk Hopkins Version)


O Little Town Of Bethlehem

C              F              C        G        C
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
 C    C/D  A        Dm                   C/G    G        C
Above thy  deep and dreamless sleep, the silent stars go by.
C          G/B   Am      E            Am       Dm  E
Yet in thy dark  streets shineth  the everlasting  Light;
    C         C        F                   C      G      C
The hopes and fears of all the years   are met in thee tonight.

    C                 F           C        G    C
For Christ is born of Ma- ry, and gathered all above,
 C     C/D    A          Dm                 C/G      G         C
While mortals sleep, the angels keep  their watch of wond'ring love.
C         G/B    Am  E        Am         Dm  E
O morning stars, together  proclaim the holy birth,
    C       C       F                 C        G      C
And praises sing to God the King, and peace to men on earth.

    C             F             C        G       C
How silently, how silently  the wondrous Gift is giv'n!
   C   C/D  A     Dm                C/G       G      C
So God imparts to human hearts  the blessings of His Heav'n.
C          G/B  Am  E           Am            Dm E
No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,
      C          C      F                     C          G      C
Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

  C             F             C       G      C
O holy Child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray;
C    C/D     A       Dm           C/G     G    C
Cast out our sin and enter in, be born in us today.
C            G/B  Am  E           Am           Dm    E
We hear the Christmas angels  the great glad tidings tell;
  C       C      F                 C      G   C
O come to us,  abide with us,  our Lord Emmanuel.
