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
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 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
For all 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
