Lyrics for Song: O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Lyrics for Album: Christmas With Johnny Cash [2003]
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 street shine
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
{Non-compositional}
For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wandering love
Oh, morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth
Oh holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Reborn in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
Their great glad tidings tell
Oh come to us, abide with us
Our Lord, Emmanuel
