 Oh, little town of Bethlehem,
             Bb           F Csus C Dm Bb  
Looks like another silent night.
F              Csus       C        Dm
 Above your deep and dreamless sleep,
           Bb            F Csus C Dm Bb  
A giant star lights up the sky.
F                  Csus  C        Dm
 And while you're lying in the dark,
        Bb         F       Csus C Dm Bb  
There shines an everlasting light.
F           Csus     C          Dm
 For the King has left His throne,
        Bb         F       Csus C  Dm Bb  
And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight.

Chorus:
F          Csus     C           Dm
Oh Bethlehem what you have missed,
                 Bb  
While you were sleeping. 
     F              Csus
For God became a man,
      C        Dm               Bb  
And stepped into your world today.
F          Csus    C         Dm        Bb  
Oh, Bethlehem you will go down in history,
      F              Csus C         Dm
As a city with no room   for its King,
Bb               F   Csus C Dm7
 While you were sleeping,
Bb               F Csus C Dm7 Bb  
 While you were sleeping.

 Oh little town of Jerusalem,

Looks like another silent night.
    F                 Csus C      
The Father gave His only Son, 
     Dm                    Bb  
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come. 
           F                Csus C
But there was no room for Him
        Dm                 Bb  
In the world He came to save.

The Savior of the world 
   C      Dm            Bb  
Is dying on a cross today.
F        Csus     C       Dm        Bb  
 Jerusalem you will go down in history,
      F              Csus C         Dm
As a city with no room   for its King.
Bb              F   Csus C Dm7
 While you were sleeping,

As we're sound asleep by philosophies,
                 Bb              F   Csus C Dm
That save the trees and kill the children.
Bb   F                  Csus C       Dm 
          And while we're lying in the dark,
           Bb                  F     Csus C Dm
There's a shout heard cross the eastern sky.
Bb   F             Csus    C       Dm 
          For the Bridegroom has returned,
         Bb              F
And has carried His bride away
          Csus C          Dm Bb  
In the night,   in the night.

Will Jesus come again,
      C           Dm               Bb  
And leave us slumbering where we lay?
F      Csus   C        Dm        Bb  
 America will we go down in history,
     F                Csus C          Dm
As a nation with no room   for its King?
Bb          F   Csus C Dm7
 Will we be sleeping?

 Will we be sleeping?
