Original text and translations

English text

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 King's birth

2.

Then why should men on earth be so sad

Since our Redeemer made us glad

Then why should men on earth be so sad

Since our Redeemer made us glad Chorus

When from our sin he set us free

All for to gain our liberty?

3.

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 with joy may sing

All for to see the new born King Chorus

4.

All out of darkness we have light

Which made the angels sing this night

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.
