O Little Town Of (Kaiser) Bethlehem-Kurt Kaiser

[00:00.00]Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem [00:06.10]How still we see thee lie; [00:11.42]Above thy deep and dreamless sleep [00:17.27]The silent stars go by; [00:22.93]Yet in thy dark streets shineth [00:28.47]The everlasting light. [00:33.98]The hopes and fears of all the years [00:39.63]Are met in thee tonight. [00:46.08] [00:56.47]For Christ is born of Mary, [01:02.00]And gathered all above, [01:07.50]While mortals sleep the angels keep [01:12.81]Their watch of wondering love. [01:18.34]O morning stars, together [01:24.24]Proclaim the holy birth ! [01:29.49]And praises sing to God the King, [01:35.51]And peace to men on earth ! [01:40.17] [01:52.21]How silently, how silently [01:58.02]The wondrous gift is given ! [02:02.95]So God imparts to human hearts [02:09.09]The blessings of His heaven. [02:14.25]No ear may hear His coming; [02:20.24]But in this world of sin, [02:25.33]Where meek souls will receive Him still, [02:31.65]The dear Christ enters in. [02:35.73] [02:47.75]O holy Child of Bethlehem, [02:53.64]Descend to us, we pray; [02:58.72]Cast out our sin and enter in, [03:04.53]Be born in us today. [03:10.09]We hear the Christmas angels [03:16.00]The great glad tidings tell, [03:21.41]O come to us, abide with us, [03:27.30]Out Lord Emmanuel ! [03:32.27]O come to us, abide with us, [03:38.12]Out Lord Emmanuel ! [03:43.68]
