O Little Town of Bethlehem [French translation]

Oh 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

Is everlasting Light

The hopes and fears of all the years

Are met in thee tonight

Oh He is born, the baby

And gathered all above

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wond'ring love

Oh morning stars together

Proclaim the holy birth

And praises sing to God the King

And Peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently

The wondrous gift is here

So God imparts to human hearts

The blessings of His heaven

No ear may hear His coming

But in this world of sin

Where meek souls will receive Him still

Our dear God enters in

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie

Oh little town of Bethlehem

How still we see thee lie
