How still we see thee lie

Above the deep and dreamless sleep

The silent stars go by.

Yet in the dark streets shineth

The everlasting light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight.

How silentlyhow silently

The wondrous gift is given.

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of his heaven.

We hear the Christmas angels

The great glad tidings tell

O come to usabide with us

Our Lord Emmanuel.

No ear may hear his coming

But in this world of sin

Where meek souls will receive him still

The dear Christ enters in.
