（单词翻译）

城不在大，有仙则名，一座小城伯利恒因主的降生而留名千古。自此，天堂的福音远播，涤荡罪恶，直抵人心；自此，永恒之光照耀，主与我们同在；自此，谦恭而坚忍的灵魂有了归依。天使般悦耳的童声慢慢地、慢慢地诉说着……


英文歌词

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thee dark streets shines, the everlasting1 light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

How silently, how silently, the wondrous2 gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings3 of his heaven
No ear may hear his coming, but in this world of sin
Where meek4 souls will receive him still, the dear Christ enters in.

Oh holy Child of Bethlehem, descend5 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
Oh come to us, abide6 with us, our lord Emanuel.
