1. On Christmas night all Christians sing
For all the news the angels bring.
On Christmas night all Christians sing
For all the news the angels bring.
News of great joy, news of great mirth,
News of our holy saviour's birth!
2. 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 full well may sing.
All is due to our newborn king.
3. From out of darkness we have light
Which makes the angels sing this night;
From out of darkness we have light
Which makes the angels sing this night:
"Glory to God and peace to men,
Now and forevermore. Amen."
