1 verse:
In the little village of Bethlehem 
There lay a Child one day.
And the sky was bright with a holy light
O'er the place where Jesus lay.

2  verse:
'T was a humble birth-place, but O how much
God gave to us that day,
From the manger bed what a path has led,
What a perfect, holy way.

3  verse:
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.

4 verse:
How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heav'n.

No ear may hear His coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive Him still,
the dear Christ enters in.

5 verse:
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.
