O Little Town Of Bethlehem

The Katinas

O little town of Bethlehem, 
How still we see thee lie 
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep 
The silent stars go by 

Yet in thy dark streets shineth 
The everlasting light 
The hopes and fears of all the years 
Are met in thee tonight 

For Christ is born of Mary 
And gathered all above 
While mortals sleep the angels keep 
Their watch of wondering love 

Oh morning stars together, 
Proclaim the holy birth 
And praises sing to God the king 
And peace to men on earth 

How silently, how silently 
The wondrous gift is given 
So God imparts to human hearts 
The blessings of his heaven 

Oh morning stars together 
Proclaim the holy birth 
And praises sing to God the king 
And peace to men on earth 
The hopes and fears of all the years 
Are met in thee tonight
