O Little Town of Bethlehem

歌詞

Joy to the world! the Lord is come: Let earth receive her King; Let every heart prepare Him room, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven and nature sing, And heaven, and heaven and nature sing. Joy to the world! the Savior reigns: Let men their songs employ; While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat the sounding joy, Repeat, repeat the sounding joy. I saw three ships come sailin' in On Christmas day, on Christmas day I saw three ships come sailin' in On Christmas day in the morning And all the bells on earth shall ring, On Christmas day, on Christmas day And all the bells on earth shall ring, On Christmas day in the morning. And all the angels in earth shall sing, On Christmas day, on Christmas day And all the angels in earth shall sing, On Christmas day in the morning. And all the souls on earth shall sing, On Christmas day, on Christmas day And all the souls on earth shall sing, On Christmas day in the morning. We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar, Field and fountain, moor and mountain, Following yonder star. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God and sacrifice; Alleluia, Alleluia! Earth to heaven replies. O star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. O little town of Bethlehem, How still we see the lie! Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by; Yet in thy dark streets shineth The everlasting Light; The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in thee tonight. For Christ is born of Mary, And gathered all above, While mortals sleep, the angels keep Their watch of wondering love. O morning stars, together Proclaim the holy birth, And praises sing to God the King, And peace to men on earth!
