What good news the an­gels bring,
What glad tid­ings of our king!
Christ the Lord is born to­day,
Christ, who takes our sins away!
He who rules both Heav’n and earth,
Hath in Beth­le­hem His birth;
Him shall all the peo­ple see,
And re­joice eter­nal­ly.

Lift your hearts and voices high,
With ho­san­nas fill the sky;
Glory be to God above,
Who is in­fi­nite in love!
Peace on earth, good will to men!
Now with us our God is seen;
Angels, join with us in praise!
Help to sing re­deem­ing grace.

Now the wall is brok­en down,
Now the Gos­pel is made known;
Now the door is open wide,
Christ for Jew and Gen­tile died;
All who feel the weight of sin,
All who lang­uish to be clean;
All who for re­demp­tion groan,
May be saved by faith alone.

Jesus is the love­ly name:
This the an­gel doth pro­claim;
He shall all His peo­ple save,
They in Him re­mis­sion have;
When they see them­selves un­done,
They take re­fuge in the Son;
They shall all be born again,
And with Him in glo­ry reign.

Shout, ye na­tions of the earth,
Sing the tri­umphs of His birth;
All the world by Him is blest,
Sound His praise from east to west;
Jews and Gen­tiles joint­ly sing,
Christ our com­mon Lord and king;
Christ, our life, our joy, our song,
To eter­ni­ty pro­long!
