O Little Town of Bethlehem (arr. Salathe) - learning vid

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.
A babe was born of Mary
and, gathered all above,
while mortals sleep, the angels keep
their watch of wond'rous love.
O morning stars, together
Shine on this Christmas birth,
These gifts we bring and praises sing
For peace upon the earth.
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So love imparts to human hearts
the blessings of our heav'n.
We hear the Christmas angels,
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
With love’s heart here farewell
