VI.
"Good Christian men, rejoice."

1.Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News!
Jesus Christ is born to-day:
Ox and ass before him bow,
And He is in the manger now.
Christ is born to-day!
Christ is born to-day!

2.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 oped the heav'nly door,
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

3.Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Peace Peace!
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one, and calls you all,
To gain His everlasting hall:
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
