1.

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.

2.

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.

3.

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.

4.

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.”

Lyrics: Tra­di­tio­nal Eng­lish car­ol.
