O Little Town Of Bethlehem
专辑《Christmas from the Vineyard》
By Vineyard
Oh, 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.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth !
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to all on earth !
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
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;
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
What can I bring to you?
Simply a song of love and boundless gratitude
My whole life for you
Had I riches, I would bring them
Had I kingdoms, I would lose them
Had I the world, too small a gift would it be for you
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,
Out Lord Emmanuel !
