24. Oh, pueblecito de Belén

1 ¡Oh, pueblecito de Belén,
Durmiendo en dulce paz!
Los astros brillan sobre ti
Con suave claridad;
Mas en tus quietas calles
Hoy surge eterna luz,
Y la promes de salud
Se cumple ya en Jesús.

2 Al niño que ha nacido hoy
El coro celestial
Entona con sonora voz
Un cántico triunfal.
¡El santo nacimiento,
Estrellas, proclamad;
A Dios el rey cantad loor
Y en la tierra paz!

3 Con celestial serenidad,
Desciende nuestro don;
Así concede Dios su amor
A cada corazón;
No se oye su venida,
Mas el Señor vendrá
Al que le quiera recibir;
Con él habitará.

4 ¡Oh, santo niño de Belén!
Desciende con tu amor,
Y echando fuera todo mal
Nace en nosotros hoy.
Angélicos cantores
Te anuncian al nacer;
Ven con nosotros a morar,
Jesús, Emmanuel.
