O Little Town of Bethlehem

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

For Christ is born of Mary
And gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

Chorus

When all was lost
God made a way for us
The Savior King
Emmanuel has come
(He's come)

The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell

In all our trials born to be our friend

And stay by my cradle 'til morning is nigh

In the Bleak Midwinter

In the bleak midwinter, Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone
Snow had fallen snow on snow, Snow on snow

In the bleak midwinter, Long ago

Our God heav'n cannot hold Him, Nor earth sustain
Heav'n and earth shall flee away, When He comes to reign
In the bleak midwinter, A stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ

CHORUS:

In the dark of night, Hope will be our guide

Through the winter skies, Jesus shine your light

Angels and archangels May have gathered there
Cherubim and seraphim Thronged the air
But His mother only In her maiden bliss
Worshipped the Beloved With a holy kiss

What can I give Him Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd I would bring a lamb
If I were a wise man I would do my part
Yet what can I give Him Give my heart

Witnessing when heaven and earth collide

To be our saving grace

And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
