Good Christian Men, Rejoice

lyricist: Heinrich Suso (1295–1366)
Composer: 14th Century German

Good Christ­ian men

re­joice

With heart and soul

and voice;

Give ye heed to what we say:

News! News! Je­sus Christ is born to­day;

Ox and ass be­fore Him bow;

And He is in the man­ger now.

Christ is born to­day!

Christ is born to­day!

Good Christ­ian men

re­joice

With heart and soul and voice;

Now ye hear of end­less bliss:

Joy! Joy! Je­sus Christ was born for this!

He has op­ened the heav­en­ly door

And man is blest for­ev­er­more.

Christ was born for this!

Christ was born for this!

Good Christ­ian men

re­joice

With heart and soul and voice;

Now ye need not fear the grave:

Peace! Peace! Je­sus Christ was born to save!

Calls you one and calls you all

To gain His ev­er­last­ing hall.

Christ was born to save!

Christ was born to save!
