On Christmas Night All Christians Sing

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 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.

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.

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.
