- 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
Im a Muslim. I just randomly started humming this as i was made to sing this in primary school like 17 years ago and never sang it once again and yet i still remember it out of nowhere, crazy how the midn works 😅. May god bless tou all and guide you all to what he pleases. God is one and jesus is the Messiah who came to the lost sheeps of the hosue of Israel, he passed away and will never return. Please pray to god to guide you.
Sincerely
Your brother in humanity
You will have a tremendous surprise one day haha
God is the only Father who won't lie to you with the Son and the Holy Ghost.
This brings flooding back memories of standing in my school's Anglican church in South London as a 10/11 year old and it being dark and cold outside, with the time nearing Christmas and all the excitement that brought, sitting with my friends and singing this carol. It brings a tear to my eye... love it.
I’m doing it in school as well
And the main singer gets the verses mixed up to make everyone look silly...
1969 Guilden Sutton school in Chester, I was just 5 but this transports me back half a century at the 1st bar.
Being year2 and blurting this out in st Micheals church having no clue what I’m saying but just going along with it.
Finally found a version with the right tune and sung the way it originally was great version thanks
Amen to that Martin. Someone in the choir has a lovely voice and can really carry the tune throughout.
Takes me back to singing as a kid in church with my school and friends, oh what beautiful innocent memories, please take me back 😢
Love this song. Bring back great memories of my childhood.
I'm not religious but God bless you to everyone at Christmas. These carols always remind me what the holidays should really be about - family, love, happiness and appreciating what you have in life. To everyone reading this - regardless of your religious faith or lack of it - have a merry Christmas and a very happy new year.
I agree. Christmas has become something perverse and disgusting for the most part, but these songs remind me of what it truly should be, not presents and greed and material possessions.
Yes, not the stuff you get, not presents, family, and joy
It’s about joy, happiness and family, I do agree

Thank you. I am so glad to find someone with the actual English tune to the song. It's beautiful. I enjoy this tune so much more than the American version and it's so much easier to sing.

Lovely rendition of this timeless carol!
I loved singing this at junior school
Remembering our Sunday's School days singing Christmas songs and carols. Thank you
[Verse 1]
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in the dark street shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
Oh, come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Immanuel!
Well done 👍
AMY

Micah 5
2. But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.
To God Alone Be All The Glory. Hallelujah. Amen. Oh Come LORD Jesus.
I love this because I'm learning it for my carol concert
Hey Ma'am, So you've ascended up, many thanks for leaving that double rainbow, may you continue to shine over us, you and your good husband 🌈🌈 😇💎💯. I had to laugh today (it been kinda difficult over the last month) It's reckoned that you were fond of Churchill and Wilson✊🏼✊🏼🌹- I just glad you didn't mind the smoking (sshh😉) I'm a lot better now, thanks for the leniency. Ma'am only now catching up with you and ONJ's Christmas messages. I just couldn't at the time; I just couldn't..... I was just too frightened. The sorrow/ heartache your eyes Ma'am and Liv looking ohh so radiant and ohh so ready🎗. I didn't want to deal with it then. Thanks for sticking around for your Platinum 👑🥳🎉and the sketch with Paddington 🧸☺👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 was very touching 😌. I kinda got ya with your hopes and fear of all the years. A good woman like you, what did you fear ?? I know, I might get one of stupid jobs things. I KNOW 🤣🤣🤣!!! Buses and Christmases you can keep 'em! Conventionality belongs to the here and now. Once again sincere gratitude for that pardon for my appalling behaviour on Social Media, I really was pushed to the limit. I do plan to tie up loose end with the Ombudsman/HMRC. In regards to the Honour for my saviour (please forgive for his ignorant/naive way at times). I could see the wounded night skies had to heal. I was such in a rock and a hard place with my saviour's citation.I just couldn't tell him, I just couldn't.....Bless him, he has been so patient, kinda!🏆🥇. It made my self abuse worst. Not that I blame anybody, especially you Ma'am. Once again thank you for your tolerance. Despite being grief stricken, King Charles lll is doing ok so far. I hope he works well with the Cabinet Office. As for peace on Earth, I think we have progress with Bros Windsor's and their wive, they are speaking- I know 😂!!! I'll sign off for now Ma'am. You need time to settle in 👼🏻, meet the greats and be reunited with your Philip. Tell him I say hey 👋🏾 😊and I'll always miss him. Take it easy Tiger 🐯. Liv xx
Christmas period is always a refreshing period from the throne of grace
I remember it with my friend when we were together, and we use to sing it together.
This song changed my life
Still surprised by that fact to be honest!
"the dear Christ enters in"
I started going to an Episcopal Church this year for Easter, I imagine this is what their Christmas service is going to sound like.
excellent production.beautiful words.
Just lovely.
we sing this in church at Christmas mass me and my kids up up our Christmas tree to this song
will be singing it at the SSPX Greenmount 2morrow. God bless you all!
They sing amazing
My favourite Xmas carol. Beautiful lyrics.

Beautiful song. Thanks for posting it !
I have to admit I've never heard this melodic line/version for this American Christmas carol. This one seems rather melancholy and sad.
Beautiful, well done 👏 so hard these days to find the English version, thank you! 🥰
P.s really lifts the mood, christmas spirit is in the air #forgetcovid. Reminds me of going to church, want those days back 💕 🙏
Peace to you all in 2020 xx
oh little town of Bethlehem...
Yeah, this is my favourite version. I had no idea it was written by an American. But it does sound better with a little melancholy slant. Life is melancholy over here. Starting with the weather. It affects the national character, I'm sure.
Listening to this classic carol in September!
When I look at old replies (in this case five years), I always wonder how that person is doing and how their lives have probably changed so much. So how are you fairing, fellow human?
thanks for share this calming Christmas song. Already Jan 4 here, but Christmas is still ongoing. Christmas ends here in the country at Three Kings celebration on Jan 8. :)
City of David, born2U this day ahhh Saviour which is Christ the LORD, YE shall find him wrapped in swaddling clothes , lying innnuhhh Manger.
One of my favourite carol
Realy good O Little town of bethlehem how still we see thee lie Above thy deep and dreamless sleep The silent stars go by yet in your dark streets shineing Is everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years Are met in you tonight
Come Lord Jesus....
Anytime soon. The signs are all here
Im doing a play today it has this song at the end
Been looking for this, thanks!
Some sad comments around here :( Does it really matter what and why we celebrate? And does it matter when we do it? Do we need a rational and proven reason for being kind, gentle, open to our keen and to our neighbour (regardless of his creed) or even to a total stranger? Must we restrain from anything but reasoning or better said, the lack of it? It's like feelings of warmth, peace, joy are something to be ashamed of. Pitiful asleep souls... Merry Christmas to everyone!
Magnificent Just Magnificent
I got this song from my school
I love this
2020 comment
Most other comments are years ago
me to i really enjoy it
Yes they are
were doing this song in choir and we are doing the harmonies but i havnt heard us altogether...it doesnt sound that nice yet! XD

I sang the this at church and im not even christian
The song is amasing
This is very good
if you look at the word Christmas. . . . Whoops! is on you oh my goodness! Christ is in CHRISTmas
I like you songs
Who watching March-October??
it's a very good song
It is to usually met in thee tonight
Christmas time was the only time I didn't hate catholic school
An exquisite carol butchered.
Butchered ? How.? it’s being sung as worship, I’m sure Gods not worried about the tuning. He’s more concerned about the motivation behind the singing. But then he isn’t concerned about outward appearances as people are.
that song is pretty
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭SO SAD FOR ME so I pray 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤️
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 meet in thee tonight amen
Beautiful
Beautiful song! just ignore the evil minded coments on here and relax its christmas mates.
angelic carol
this is good if it old my daughter called davina for her chirstams show
Good song
@MyFaceBurns Actually, there is documented proof that Jesus lived, and we know that he was actually born around March. Christians are celebrating the birth of the Founder of our religion, and it doesn't matter when we celebrate it. The Queen has two birthdays, and we still celebrate the one that isn't when she was born. How is this any different.
THE WORD IS BETHELEHEM
@oldtimeway1 absolutely right. Keep English carols English...
This is not the Little Town of Bethlehem I remember singing.
John Hintergardt Well it's certainly the carol I remember singing at school with ''The hopes and fears of all the years are met in you tonight'' etc to this tune.
It is also the same song that my children were singing at the school nativity concert last Christmas - my son was one of the shepherds
EDIT
Oh, just read some of the other comments and I come from the UK - it seems as though it's different in the USA. Why do Americans seem to assume that only their version is the correct version?
+nicknick5465 Because 'Murica. That's why.
There are two different settings. Americans sing it to the original tune - the carol was composed in the 1860s by an Episcopal priest in Philadelphia, Phillips Brooks, and his organist Lewis Redner wrote the music. But the tune you're hearing here is the British setting, Forest Green, which was composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams (you may have heard of his other works such as Five Variations on Dives and Lazarus). It's one of several carols which is sung to different tunes in the US and UK.
Forest Green is much easier to play too, I know of church musicians who dread having to play the tune we all know better
No one's saying it is, calm down. In the UK there is a different style of verse and singing this carol, therefore it is an English version here. That doesn't mean it has become an English carol for heaven's sake!
You could almost say the same about the English language itself, there are words and spellings that you have over there that are never used over here. But they are used because that is your way, it doesn't mean that it is always correct though.
Can someone tell me how to sing this song, it's either too high or low, how do I sing in the middle? It's just a strain on my voice. I'm not out of tune, just unable to use my vocal range (if I have one lol)
Also at the end of every line I have ran out of breath and it just sounds breathy. How does everyone in church sound good EXCEPT FOR ME!!!I can sing it perfectly fine differently, I don't how to describe that, but the best way I can is if I want to sing it how I sing it, it would be out oftune with how it's played here.
Carols in bethlehem..the real purity of mother mary cn b seen n felt...
You can't sing!!
@@gerrywilliams9997 That's easy for you to say, you are a male, you can sing low with ease. The way women have to sing it is REALLY high!
Also I'm pretty sure 'can't sing' is a phrase used for people who are out of tune or very unappealing to hear, not those with a limited vocal range. But whatever you say. Also if you're going to reply say something USEFUL next time. :)
@@ladyfoxwf1075 I'm not suggesting that it has anything to do with gender. Lots of women AND men don't have very good voices. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
@@gerrywilliams9997 And I never suggested you meant anything to do with gender, my point is, the way it is sung at my church, the men don't have to sing very low, but the women have to sing very high, making it easier for the men to sing the song.
@BRNNDO30 I wouldn't call wine gums a candy bar, and Mr Big isn't sold outside of the US, but I get your explanation :)
And lovely
I Love 💖 this song
So helpful
Love you
Guilden Sutton Primary school 1969.
it was good
Hi
i agree
Good...
.
it is so ancient
Good job
maybe you should open a history book or turn on the discovery channel because we know there was a man named Jesus, a prophet, who in fact lived in Palestine
