“O Little Town of Bethlehem” (小伯利恒) 是一首圣诞颂歌。根据菲利普斯-布鲁克斯1868年写的文本,这首颂歌在大西洋两岸都很流行,但使用不同的曲调:在美国,使用布鲁克斯的合作者刘易斯-雷德纳的 “圣路易斯”;在英国、加拿大和爱尔兰,使用拉尔夫-沃恩-威廉斯收集的 “森林绿 “曲调,并首次发表在1906年的英国圣歌集。
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, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.
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, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.
