Christmas

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.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep their watch of wond'ring love,

O morning stars, together proclaim the holy birth;

And praises sing to God the King and peace to men on earth.

How silently, how silently the wond'rous gift is giv'n!

So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His hea'vn.

No ear may hear His coming, but in this world of sin,

where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

O holy child of Bethlehem, descend to us, we pray;

Cast out our sin and enter in, be born to us to-day,

We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell,

O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel.

Silent night, holy night;

All is calm, all is bright;

round yon' virgin mother and Child,

Holy Infant so tender and mild,

Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night;

Darkness flies, all is light,

Shepherds hear the angels sing.

Alleluia, hail the King.

Christ the Saviour is born,

Christ the Saviour is born.

Silent night, holy night;

Child of heaven, O how bright;

Thou didst smile when Thou was born,

Blessed be that happy morn,

Full of heavenly joy,

Full of heavenly joy.

Come they told me pa-rum pum pum pum,

A new born King to see, pa-rum pum pum pum,

Our finest gifts we bring pa-rum pum pum pum,

To lay before the King, pa-rum pum pum pum

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

So to honor Him pa-rum pum pum pum,

When we come.

Little Baby pa-rum pum pum pum,

I am a poor boy too, pa-rum pum pum pum,

I have no gift to bring, pa-rum pum pum pum,

That's fit to give our King pa-rum pum pum pum

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Shall I play for you? pa-rum pum pum pum,

On my drum.

Mary nodded, pa-rum pum pum pum,

The Ox and Lamb kept time, pa-rum pum pum pum,

I played my drum for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum,

I played my best for Him, pa-rum pum pum pum,

rum pum pum pum, rum pum pum pum,

Then he smiled at me, pa-rum pum pum pum,

Me and my drum.
