VERSE 1: 
   D              Em
O little town of Bethlehem,
      D       A7       D
How still we see thee lie;
  D        B7        Em
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
     D      A        D
The silent stars go by.
 D          Em           F#
Yet in the dark streets shineth
     Bm  G       F#
The everlasting light;
     D                 Em
The hopes and fears of all the years
 D-  D       A      D
Are met in thee tonight.


VERSE 2: 
   D              Em
For Christ is born of Mary;
      D       A7       D
And gathered all above,
  D        B7        Em
While mortals sleep the angels keep
     D      A        D
Their watch of wond'ring love.
D          Em           F#
O morning stars together
     Bm  G       F#
Proclaim the holy birth;
     D                 Em
And praises sing to God the King,
D-  D       A      D
And peace to men on earth.



























VERSE 3: 
   D              Em
How silent, how silently
      D       A7       D
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
  D        B7        Em
So God imparts to human hearts
     D      A        D
The blessings of His heav'n.
D          Em           F#
No ear may hear His coming,
     Bm  G       F#
But in this world of sin,
     D                 Em
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
D-  D       A      D
The dear Christ enters in.


VERSE 4: 
   D              Em
O holy Child of Bethlehem,
      D       A7       D
Descend to us, we pray;
  D        B7        Em
Cast out our sin and enter in,
     D      A        D
Be born in us today.
D          Em           F#
We hear the Christmas angels
     Bm  G       F#
The great glad tidings tell;
     D                 Em
O come to us, abide with us,
D-  D       A      D
Our Lord, Emmanuel.
