GRAMMY award winner Chris Tomlin released his new Christmas album, Emmanuel: Christmas Songs of Worship.
Off the 12-song project produced by Ed Cash which is now available in stores and digitally is the song titled O Little Town of Bethlehem.
“I have always been inspired by ‘Christmas classics.’ Songs like “O Come All Ye Faithful” and “O Holy Night” that have been passed down for generations. These were all songs that were not written to be Christmas classics but as worship songs for the church,” shared Chris. “When it came time to do this album, I wanted to capture songs that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas. Emmanuel, God with us. If there was ever a time that we needed to be reminded that God is with us, it is now and that is the spirit behind this third Christmas record. My prayer is that God uses these songs to touch lives for generations and reminds us that He is close to us.”

LYRICS:
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
In thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
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.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with u
