Little town of Bethlehem 
            A             E    Bsus C#m7 A
Looks like another silent night
E          Bsus               C#m7
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
        A                  E  Bsus C#m7 A
A giant star lights up the sky
E                Bsus         C#m7
And while you’re lying in the dark
      A             E        Bsus C#m7 A
There shines an everlasting light
E                Bsus     C#m7
For the king has left His throne 
         A             E        Bsus      C#m7  A
And He’s sleeping in a manger tonight...tonight

E        Bsus            C#m7                  A
Oh Bethlehem what you’ve missed while you were sleeping
    E            Bsus              C#m7          A
For God became a man and stepped into your world today
E        Bsus            C#m7      A
Oh Bethlehem you will go down in history
     E            Bsus          C#m7 A
As a city with no room for its king
               E   Bsus C#m7 A                E   Bsus C#m7 A
While you were sleeping        While you were sleeping

Looks like another silent night
    E               Bsus
The Father gave His only Son
    C#m7                A
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
          E               Bsus
But there was no room for Him
       C#m7             A
In the world He came to save

Jerusalem what you’ve missed while you were sleeping
    E             Bsus           C#m7            A

Jerusalem you will go down in history
     E            Bsus         C#m7 A
As a city with no room for its king
               E   Bsus C#m7 A                E   Bsus C#m7 A
While you were sleeping        While you were sleeping

Looks like another silent night
E                Bsus            C#m7
As we’re sung to sleep by philosophies
              A                  E       Bsus C#m7 A
That save the trees and kill the children
E               Bsus         C#m7
And while we’re lying in the dark
          A                     E       Bsus C#m7 A
There’s a shout heard cross the eastern sky
E       Bsus             C#m7
For the Bridegroom has returned
         A                  E          Bsus           C#m7  A
And He’s carried His bride away in the night...in the night

Will Jesus come again and leave us slumbering where we lay
E    Bsus          C#m7      A
America will we go down in history
     E              Bsus         C#m7 A
As a nation with no room for its king
           E   Bsus C#m7 A            E   Bsus C#m7 A
