C F
O little town of Bethlehem,
C G C
How still we see thee lie;
C F
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
C G C
The silent stars go by.
C E
Yet in the dark streets shineth
Am E
The everlasting light;
C F
The hopes and fears of all the years
C G C
Are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silent, how silently
The wondrous gift is giv'n!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heav'n.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
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;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord, Emmanuel.

G
I come to the garden alone
C G
While the dew is still on the roses
D G Em
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
A D
The Son of God discloses.
(Refrain)
G D
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
C G
And He tells me I am His own;
D C
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
G D G
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
Refrain
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
Refrain

G Em G D G
O for a thousand tongues to sing
C D
My great Redeemer’s praise,
G A D
My great Re- deemer’s praise,
G Em C D
The glories of my God and King,
G C
The triumphs of His grace!
G D
The triumphs of His grace!
G C D G
The triumphs of- The triumphs of- of His grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
’Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
’Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive,
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice,
The humble poor believe.
Hear Him, ye deaf;
His praise, ye dumb,
Your loosened tongues employ;
Ye blind, behold your Savior come,
And leap, ye lame, for joy.
