Title: Oh, little town of Bethlehem
Lyrics: Phillips Brooks, Lewis Redner

Spanish

Stanza 1. ¡Oh, pueblecito de Belén, durmiendo en dulce paz!
Los astros brillan sobre ti, con suave claridad;
Mas en tus quietas calles, hoy surge eterna luz,
y la promesa de Emanuel, se cumple en Jesús.

Stanza 2. Al niño que ha nacido hoy, el coro celestial
Entona con sonora voz, un cántico triunfal.
¡El santo nacimiento, estrellas proclamad;
a Dios el rey cantad loor, honor y gloria dad!

Stanza 3. Con celestial serenidad, desciende nuestro don;
Así concede Dios su amor, a cada corazón.
No se oye su venida, mas el Señor vendrá;
al que le quiera recibir con Él habitará.

Stanza 4. El santo niño de Belén es nuestro Salvador
quien por su sangre perdonó el mal con tanto amor
Unimos nuestras voces al coro angelical
y proclamamos por doquier su gloria celestial

English

Stanza 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.

Stanza 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 men on earth.

Stanza 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.

Stanza 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 Emmanuel!
