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 so sad 

Since our Redeemer made us glad 

Then why should men on earth be so sad 

Since our Redeemer made us glad Chorus 

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 new born King Chorus 



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
