Bethlehem - Over the Rhine

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Have you been forsaken

In your dark and dreamless sleep

Your heart is breaking

And in your wounded sky

The silent stars go by

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Be still tonight be still

Mary she was just a kid

Jesus was a refugee

A virgin and a vagabond

Yearning to be free

Now in the dark streets shining

Is their last chance of a dream

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Be still tonight be still

Cradled by a crescent moon

Born under a star

Sometimes there’s no difference

Between a birthmark and a scar

Oh little town of Bethlehem

With your sky so black

May God impart to human hearts

The wisdom that we lack

Should you chance to find

A hope for all mankind

Oh little town of Bethlehem

Be still tonight be still
