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 men 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!"
