| Text: | On Christmas Night All Christians Sing |
| Tune: | SUSSEX CAROL |
| Harmonizer: | Jonathan McNair |
1 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 Ruler’s birth.
2 Then why should we 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 Christ set us free,
all for to gain our liberty.
3 From out of mystery came the Light,
which made the angels sing this night;
From our of mystery came the Light,
which made the angels sing this night:
“Glory to God and peace to all,
forevermore, Alleluia!”
