- 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.
