How silently, how silently, the wondrous Gift is giv'n;
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His Heav'n.

Where meek souls will receive Him still, the dear Christ enters in.

Cast out our sin, and enter in, be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels the great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us, our Lord Emmanuel!
--From 'O Little Town of Behtlehem,' words by Philips Brooks
