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!
2 Good Christian friends, 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 friends, 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! Topics: Christmas; Jesus Christ; Joy Scripture: Luke 1:47 Languages: English Tune Title: IN DULCI JUBILO
