O Little Town Of Bethlehem Lyrics by Sister Rosetta Tharpe

Gospel Train (Expanded Edition)

1956

[Verse 1]
O, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thou deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet, in thou darketh shine a street
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
[Verse 2]
How silently, how silently
The wondrous Gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
And in this world of sin
Where a mint, meek soul will receive Him still
The dear Christ еnter in
[Verse 3]
O, holy Child of Bethlehеm
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sins and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The glad, the glad tidings tell
Oh, come to us, abide with us
Oh Lord, Emmanuel
