183. Good Christian Men, Rejoice
1 Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ is born today!
Man and beast before Him bow,
And He is in the manger now:
Christ is born today, Christ is born today!
2 Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened heaven's door,
And man is blest forevermore.
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 :
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!
