And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love.

pues en tus campos brilla hoy
la sempiterna luz.

velando todos con amor

¡Estrellas rutilantes,
a Dios la gloria dad!
Pues hoy el cielo nos mostró
Su buena voluntad.

su incomparable don;

Sus bendiciones hoy.

perciba su venir,
mas el de humilde corazón
le habrá de recibir.

en nuestras almas nace hoy
limpiando todo mal.

We hear the Christmas angels
the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Emmanuel!

O Little Town of Bethlehem
O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks, 1835-1892 Hymnal: Christian Worship #333 (2021) Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Scripture: Micah 5:2 Lyrics: 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 thy dark streets shineth
the everlasting light.
The hopes and fears of all the years
are met in thee tonight.
2 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 all the earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
the wondrous gift is giv’n!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of his heav’n.
No ear may hear his coming,
but in this world of sin,
where meek souls will receive him, still
the dear Christ enters in.
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;
O come to us, abide with us,
our Lord Immanuel!
