GOOD CHRISTIAN MEN, REJOICE

Translation: John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 14th Century German Carol

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News! 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!

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath ope'd the heav'nly door,
And man is blessed ever more;
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

Good Christian men, rejoice
With hear, and soul, and voice;
Now ye need mot fear the grave:
Peace! Peace! Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain His ever lasting hall;
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
