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 so sad Since our Redeemer made us glad Then why should men on earth be so 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 His grace Then life and health come in its place When sin departs before His 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 forever more, amen
