#45. In “O little town of Bethlehem” where do the silent stars go by?
"O 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."
