::''1.''
On Christmas night all Christians sing<br>
To hear the news the angels bring.<br>
News of great joy, news of great mirth,<br>
News of our merciful King's birth.
 
::''2.''
Then why should men on earth be so sad,<br>
Since our redeemer made us glad,<br>
When from our sin he set us free<br>
All for to gain our liberty?
 
::''3.''
When sin departs before his grace,<br>
Then life and health come in its place;<br>
Angels and men with joy may sing,<br>
All for to see the new-born King.
 
::''4.''
All out of darkness we have light,<br>
Which made the angels sing this night:<br>
'Glory to God and peace to men,<br>
Now and for evermore. Amen.' <br>
