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.”
