Verse

  D              G6
O little town of Bethlehem,
    D/A      A7       D
How still we see thee lie.
      D/C  B7       Em
Above thy  deep and dreamless sleep
    D/A    A7       D
The silent stars go by;
    D      Em   Fdim7   F#
Yet in thy dark streets shine
    Bm     Em/G F#
The everlasting light;
    D                  G       G#dim7
The hopes and fears of all the years
    D/A    A7     D
Are met in thee tonight.

Interlude

Verse

    Eb            Fm/Ab
How silently, how silently
    Eb/Bb    Bb7     Eb
The wondrous gift is giv’n!
   Eb  Eb/Db  C7       Fm
So God im  -  parts to human hearts
    Eb/Bb     Bb7    Eb
The blessings of His heav’n.
   Eb      Fm   G#dim7 G
No ear may hear His    coming;
    Cm            Fm/Ab G
But in this world of    sin,
      Eb                Fm/Ab
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
    Eb/Bb       Bb7    Eb
The dear Christ enters in.
