Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice,
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News! Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before Him bow,
And He is in the manger now.
Christ is born today! Christ is born today!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss;
Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath open’d the heavenly door,
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
