 Oh Little Town Of Bethlehem
-----------------------------


   G   -  (G7)    C   -  Am(7)
Oh little town of Bethle-hem

    G   -    D7 	    G     
How still we see thee lie

  G    -   E7       Am    -   Am/C
A-bove thy deep and dreamless sleep

    G   -  D(7)     G        
The silent stars go by

    Em  -  (Am)         B7
Yet in thy dark streets shineth

	Em - C 	     B7 
The ever-lasting light

    G   -     (G7)     C   -   Am
The hopes and fears of all the years

    G   -  D7 	  G 
Are met in thee to-night.



    G   -    (G7)     C  - Am(7)
For Christ is born of Ma - ry

    G   -    D7 	 G  
And gathered all a-bove

      G   -   E7         Am -   Am/C
While mortals sleep, the angels keep

      G   -    D(7)      G 
Their watch of wondering love.

   Em  -   (Am)     B7
Oh morning stars to-gether

	Em    -   C    B7 
Pro-claim the holy birth

    G   -   (G7)    C   -   Am
And praises sing to God the King

    G     -  D7 	  G 
And peace to men on earth.



   G  - (G7)      C  -  Am(7)
Oh holy Child of Bethle-hem!

   G   -    D7 	G 
De-scend to us we pray

     G   -   E7      Am  - Am/C
Cast out the sin and enter in

   G   -   D(7)  G   
Be born in us to-day.

   Em   -   (Am)      B7
We hear the Christmas angels

	Em    -    C       B7  
The great glad tidings tell:

   G             C    -    Am
Oh come to us, a-bide with us

    G     - D7 	 G 
Our Lord Im-manu-el!
