14. O Little Town of Bethlehem
CCLI #606984

15. O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee 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

16. 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

17. How silently how silently The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls
Will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

18. 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

30. Away in a Manger
CCLI #606984

The stars in the sky
Looked down where He lay
Asleep on the hay

I love Thee Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
Till morning is nigh

To live with Thee there
