O Little Town by Over the Rhine
Songwriters LINFORD DETWEILER
O little town of
Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy dark and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
How still we see thee lie
Above thy dark 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
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
The lamplit streets
of Bethlehem
We walk now through the night
There is no peace in Bethlehem
There is no peace in sight
We walk now through the night
There is no peace in Bethlehem
There is no peace in sight
The wounds of
generations
Almost too deep to heal
Scar the timeworn miracle
And make it seem surreal
Almost too deep to heal
Scar the timeworn miracle
And make it seem surreal
The baby in the
manger
Grew to a man one day
And still we try to listen now
To what he had to say
Grew to a man one day
And still we try to listen now
To what he had to say
Put up your swords
forever
Forgive your enemies
Love your neighbor as yourself
Let your little children come to me
Forgive your enemies
Love your neighbor as yourself
Let your little children come to me
O little town of
Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy dark and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
How still we see thee lie
Above thy dark and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
