Little Town Of Bethlehem

O LITTLE TOWN OF BETHLEHEM

Phillip Brooks, Lewis H. Redner. publ.1868

(Starting note:a)

O little town of Bethlehem, [F Fdim F Gm]

How still we see thee lie; [F C7 F]

Above thy deep and dreamless sleep, [F D7 Gm]

The silent stars go by. [F C7 F]

Yet in thy dark streets shineth [F F F#dim Gm G#dim A4 A7]

The everlasting light; [Dm A F Gm A4 A]

The hopes and fears of all the years [F Fdim F Gm]

Are met in thee tonight. [F Bb F C7 F]

For Christ is born of Mary, [F Fdim F Gm]

And gather'd all above [F C7 F]

While mortals sleep, the angels keep [F D7 Gm]

Their watch of wond'ring love. [F C7 F]

O morning stars together [F F F#dim Gm G#dim A4 A7]

Proclaim the holy birth [Dm A F Gm A4 A]

And praises sing to God the King [F Fdim F Gm]

And peace to men on earth. [F C7 F]
