This version has an optional beginning. I have choir humming for the first three measure. There is a soloist that starts singing after that. The optional part is to not play the piano until half way through the verse. There is accompaniment if you prefer. You can hear on the mp3 how it sounds being a cappella until then. It is for SATB voices. I have also added additions to each verse that is different than the original with new lyrics and music. It adds a little bit to this iconic song.

Lyrics below:
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
Â
Shepherds watching o’re their flocks
Saw a light star down
Then they noticed that it’s light
Lit up a little town
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
Â
Shepherds followed the bright star
And they were so amazed
People gathered all around
Singing hymns of praise
O Holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us, we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born for us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
Â
In a stable was a child
Born for all to see
His mother always by His side
The newborn Prince of peace
Â
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see Thee lie
Above Thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
