1 Good Christians all, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice!
listen now to what we say,
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 Christians all, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice!
hear the news of endless bliss,
Jesus Christ was born for this:
he has opened heaven’s door
and we are blessed forevermore!
Christ was born for this;
Christ was born for this.
3 Good Christians all, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice!
now ye need not fear the grave;
Jesus Christ was born to save:
come at his most gracious call
to find salvation, one and all!
Christ was born to save;
Christ was born to save!
