1 Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice!
Listen now 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!
2 Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice!
Now you hear of endless bliss;
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened heaven's door,
and we are blest for evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
3 Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice!
Now you need not fear the grave:
Peace! Peace!
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
to gain the everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
