Merry Christmas Music ~ 78RPM Folio
O, Little Town of Bethlehem ~ 1946 Version
 
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.
 
For Christ is born of Mary 
and gather all above 
while mortals sleep the angels keep 
their watch of wond'ring love! 
O, morning stars together 
proclaim the holy birth! 
And praises sing to God our King 
and peace to men on earth!
 
O, Holy Child of Bethlehem 
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 
O, come to us, abide with us, 
Our Lord Emanuel!
 
Words and Music by Phillips Brooks
and Lewis H. Redner
The Shepherds hurry to the manger, fall on their knees before the baby, and they worship him! For He is Christ the Lord!
