Good Christians, now 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 today! Christ is born today!

Verse 2

Good Christians, now rejoice, With heart, and soul, and voice; Now ye hear of endless bliss: Jesus Christ was born for this! He hath ope’d the heav’nly door, And we are blessed evermore. Christ was born for this! Christ was born for this!

Verse 3

Good Christians, now 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! Christ was born to save!
