On Christmas night
all Christians sing,
To hear the news the angels bring;
On Christmas night
all Christians sing,
To hear the news the angels bring:
News of great joy,
news of great mirth,
News of our merciful King’s birth.
Then why should men
on earth be sad,
Since our Redeemer made us glad:
Then why should we
on earth be sad,
Since our Redeemer made us glad:
When from our sin He set us free,
All for to gain our liberty.
When sin departs
before Your grace,
Then life and health
come in its place;
When sin departs before Your grace,
Then life and health
come in its place;
Angels and men with joy may sing,
All for to see the newborn King.
All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels
sing this night;
All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels
sing this night:
“Glory to God and peace to men,
Now and forevermore. Amen.”
