My Christmas Carol for Today - O Little Town of Bethlehem

My Christmas Carol for today is, O, Little Town of Bethlehem. This familiar song was written in 1835. A simple, little town. A normal, everyday night; and yet, something amazing happened! Someone Incredible was born! Look at the lyrics:

O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy darkness shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.

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:
Oh, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!

We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell:
Oh, come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Immanuel!
