ஓ பெத்லெகேமே சிற்றூரே

2. Kooraுm o viti vellikaan

Immainthan janmamae

Vinn vaentharkku makimaiyae

Paaril amaithiyaam

Maa thivviya paalan thontinaar

Mann maanthar thookkaththil

Viliththirukka thootharum

Anpodu vaanaththil.

1. 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 to-night.

2. For Christ is born of Mary,

And gathered all above,

While mortals sleep, the angels keep

Their watch of wondering love.

O morning stars, together

Proclaim the holy birth!

And praises sing to God the King,

And peace to men on earth.
