O, Little Town of Bethlehem Lyrics – Nat King Cole<\/h4>\n

O little town of Bethlehem
\nHow still we see thee lie
\nAbove thy deep and dreamless sleep
\nThe silent stars go by<\/p>\n

Yet in they dark streets shineth
\nThe everlasting light
\nThe hopes and fears of all the years
\nAre met in thee tonight<\/p>\n

Oh holy child of Bethlehem
\nDescend to us we pray
\nCast out our sins and enter in
\nBe born to us today<\/p>\n

O morning starts together
\nProclaim thy holy birth
\nAnd praises sing to God the King
\nAnd peace to men on earth<\/p>\n

O hear thy sacred angels
\nAs faith holds wide the door
\nThen darkness wakes, the glory breaks
\nAs Christmas comes once more<\/p>\n

Composer: Phillip Brooks<\/em><\/p>\n
