Verse 1:
  C       F
Oh little town of Bethlehem
  C/G    G    C
How still we see thee lie
 C         F
Above the dark and dreamless sleep
  C/G   G    C
The silent stars go by
 G/B  Am         Em
   Yet in thy dark streets shineth
  F   G   F/A  G/B Esus  E
The ev - er - last - ing  light
  C          F
The hopes and fears of all the years
  C/G   G   C
Are met in thee tonight

Verse 2:
    C       F
For Christ is born of Mary
   C/G   G   C
And gathered all above
    C         F
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
    C/G    G    C
Their watch of wond'ring love.
G/B  Am        Em
  O morning stars, together
   F  G  F/A G/B   Esus E
Proclaim the ho - ly   Birth!
  C        F
And praises sing to God the King
  C/G    G   C
And peace to men on earth!

Verse 3:
  C       F
How silently, how silently,
  C/G    G    C
The wondrous gift is given;
   C       F
So God imparts to human hearts
  C/G     G   C
The blessings of His Heaven.
G/B  Am        Em
  No ear may hear His coming,
   F G  F/A G/B  Esus E
But in this world of  sin,
   C         F
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
  C/G      G   C
The dear Christ enters in.

Verse 4:
 C       F
Oh holy child of Bethlehem,
   C/G  G   C
Descend on us we pray;
    C       F
Cast out our sin and enter in
  C/G   G   C
Be born in us today.
G/B  Am         Em
  We hear the Christmas angels,
    F   G  F/A G/B  Esus E
Their great glad ti - dings tell,
   C      F
Oh come to us, abide in us,
   C/G  G C
Our lord, Emmanuel.
