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 King's birth 

Then why should men on earth be so sad 
Since our Redeemer made us glad 
When from our sin He set us free 
All for to gain our liberty 

When sin departs before His grace 
Then life and [bad word] in its place 
Angels and men with joy may sing 
All for to see the newborn King

All out of darkness we have light 
Which made the angels sing this night 
Glory to God and peace to men 
Now and forever more, amen
