O Litte Town of Bethlehem Songtext
von Mahalia Jackson

Oh, little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent star go by

Yet, in the dark street 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

Oh, morning stars together
Proclaim the Holy birth
And praises sing to God, the King
And peace to men on Earth

Mm-mm, mm-mm
And peace to men on Earth
