 Oh, little town of Bethlehem,

             Bb           F Csus C Dm Bb  

Looks like another silent night.

F              Csus       C        Dm

 Above your deep and dreamless sleep,

           Bb            F Csus C Dm Bb  

A giant star lights up the sky.

F                  Csus  C        Dm

 And while you're lying in the dark,

        Bb         F       Csus C Dm Bb  

There shines an everlasting light.

F           Csus     C          Dm

 For the King has left His throne,

        Bb         F       Csus C  Dm Bb  

And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight.

For God became a man,

      C        Dm               Bb  

And stepped into your world today.

F          Csus    C         Dm        Bb  

Oh, Bethlehem you will go down in history,

      F              Csus C         Dm

As a city with no room   for its King,

 While you were sleeping,

 While you were sleeping.

Looks like another silent night.

    F                 Csus C      

The Father gave His only Son, 

     Dm                    Bb  

The Way, the Truth, the Life had come.

But there was no room for Him

In the world He came to save.

The Savior of the world 

   C      Dm            Bb  

Is dying on a cross today.

F        Csus     C       Dm        Bb  

 Jerusalem you will go down in history,

      F              Csus C         Dm

As a city with no room   for its King.

Bb              F   Csus C Dm7

 While you were sleeping,

Looks like another silent night.

As we're sound asleep by philosophies,

                 Bb              F   Csus C Dm

That save the trees and kill the children.

Bb   F                  Csus C       Dm 

          And while we're lying in the dark,

           Bb                  F     Csus C Dm

There's a shout heard cross the eastern sky.

Bb   F             Csus    C       Dm 

          For the Bridegroom has returned,

         Bb              F

And has carried His bride away

In the night,   in the night.

And leave us slumbering where we lay?

As a nation with no room   for its King?

 Will we be sleeping?

 Will we be sleeping?
