| 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 |
