O Little Town Of Bethlehem-2002

[00:06.10]how still we see thee lie; [00:11.42]above thy deep and dreamless sleep [00:17.27]the silent stars go by; [00:22.93]yet in thy dark streets shineth [00:28.47]the everlasting light. [00:33.98]the hopes and fears of all the years [00:39.63]are met in thee tonight. [00:46.08] [00:56.47]for christ is born of mary, [01:02.00]and gathered all above, [01:07.50]while mortals sleep the angels keep [01:12.81]their watch of wondering love. [01:18.34]o morning stars, together [01:24.24]proclaim the holy birth ! [01:29.49]and praises sing to god the king, [01:35.51]and peace to men on earth ! [01:40.17] [01:52.21]how silently, how silently [01:58.02]the wondrous gift is given ! [02:02.95]so god imparts to human hearts [02:09.09]the blessings of his heaven. [02:14.25]no ear may hear his coming; [02:20.24]but in this world of sin, [02:25.33]where meek souls will receive him still, [02:31.65]the dear christ enters in. [02:35.73] [02:47.75]o holy child of bethlehem, [02:53.64]descend to us, we pray; [02:58.72]cast out our sin and enter in, [03:04.53]be born in us today. [03:10.09]we hear the christmas angels [03:16.00]the great glad tidings tell, [03:21.41]o come to us, abide with us, [03:27.30]out lord emmanuel ! [03:32.27]o come to us, abide with us, [03:38.12]out lord emmanuel ! [03:43.68]
