| 1. Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say,
Jesus Christ is born today;
Ox and ass before Him bow,
And He is in the manger now,
|:Christ is born to-day!
:|
2. Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss,
Jesus Christ was born for this
He hath opened the heavenly door,
And man is blessèd evermore.
|:Christ was born for this!
:|
3. Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave,
Jesus Christ was born to save,
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain His everlasting hall.
|:Christ was born to save!
