DBm
Oh little town of Bethlehem
EmAD
How still we see thee lie
Bm
Above the dark and dreamless sleep
EmAD
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
EA
The everlasting light
DBm
The hopes and fears of all the years
EmAD
Are met in thee tonight
DBm
O morning stars together
EmAD
Proclaim thy holy birth
Bm
And praises sing to God the King
EmAD
And peace to men on earth
For Christ is born of Mary
EA
And gathered all above
DBm
While mortals sleep the angels keep
EmAD
Their watch over wondering love
DBm
How silently, how silently,
EmAD
The wondrous gift is given;
Bm
So God imparts to human hearts
EmAD
The blessings of His Heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
EA
But in this world of sin,
DBm
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
EmAD
The dear Christ enters in.
DBm
Where children pure and happy
EmAD
Pray to the blessed Child
Bm
Where misery cries out to thee
EmAD
Son of the mother mild
Where charity stands watching
EA
And faith holds wide the door
DBm
The dark night waits the glory breaks
EmAD
And Christmas comes once more
DBm
Oh holy child of Bethlehem,
EmAD
Descend on us we pray;
Bm
Cast out our sin and enter in
EmAD
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels,
EA
Their great glad tidings tell,
DBm
Oh come to us, abide in us,
EmAD
Our lord, Emanuel.
Intro: CAmFGCAmDmG
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
CAmDmGC
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
DmAmCFG
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow on snow,
CAmDmGC
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
CAmDmG
Our god, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain;
CAmDmGC
Heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
DmAmCFG
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
CAmDmGC
The lord God almighty, Jesus Christ.
CAmDmG
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
CAmDmGC
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
DmAmCFG
But his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
CAmDmGC
Worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
CAmDmG
What can I give him, poor as I am?
CAmDmGC
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
DmAmCFG
If I were a wise man, I would do my part;
CAmDmGC
Yet what I can I give him: give my heart.
GDGCG
A ray of hope flickers in the sky
EmD
A tiny star lights up way up high
CDBm
All across the land, dawns a brand7 new morn
EmDAmD7GCGD
This comes to pass when a child is born
GDGCG
A silent wish sails the seven seas
EmD
The winds of change whisper in the trees
CDBm
And the walls of doubt crumble, tossed and torn
EmDAmD7GCGD7
This comes to pass when a child is born
GDGCG
A rosy hue settles all around
EmD
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
CDBm
For a spell or two, no-one seems forlorn
EmDAmD7GCGE
This comes to pass when a child is born
And all of this happens because the world is waiting,
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no-one knows
But a child that will grow up and turn tears to laughter,
Hate to love, war to peace and everyone to everyone's neighbour
And misery and suffering will be words to be forgotten, forever
AEADA
It's all a dream, an illusion now
F#mE
It must come true, sometime soon somehow
DEC#m
All across the land, dawns a brand new morn

This comes to pass when a child is born
Once In Royal David s City chords
H. Gauntlett / C. Alexander 1849
D7G
Once in royal David s city,
D7G
stood a lowly cattle shed
D7GCG
Where a mother laid her Baby,
EmAmD7G
in a manger for His bed
CGAmG
Mary was that mother mild,
CGD7G
Jesus Christ, her little Child.
D7G
He came down to earth from heaven,
D7G
who is God and Lord of all
D7GCG
And His shelter was a stable,
EmAmD7G
and His cradle was a stall
CGAmG
With the poor, and mean, and lowly,
CGD7G
lived on earth our Savior holy.
D7G
And, through all His wondrous childhood,
D7G
he would honor and obey
D7GCG
Love and watch the lowly maiden,
Em Am. D7G
in whose gentle arms He lay
CGAmG
Christian children all must be,
CGD7G
mild, obedient, good as He.
D7G
For He is our childhood's pattern;
D7G
day by day, like us, He grew
D7GCG
He was little, weak, and helpless,
EmAmD7G
tears and smiles, like us He knew
CGAmG
And He cares when we are sad,
CGD7G
and he shares when we are glad.
D7G
And our eyes at last shall see Him,
D7G
through His own redeeming love
D7GCG
For that Child so dear and gentle,
EmAmD7G
is our Lord in heaven above
CGAmG
And He leads His children on,
CGD7G
to the place where He is gone.

Who to Thy tribes, on Sinai’s height
DmCG
In ancient times did’st give the Law
CDmEC
In cloud, and majesty and awe

Verse 2:
They looked up
And saw a star
Shining in the the East
Beyond them far
And to the earth
It gave great light
And so it continued
Both day and night
Verse 3:
And by the light of that same star,
Three wise men came
From country far;
To seek for a King
Was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.
