Sussex Carol (On Christmas Night)

On Christmas night, all Christians sing
 To hear the news the angels bring
 On Christmas night, all Christians sing
 To hear the news the angels bring
 News of great joy, news of great mirth
 News of our merciful King's birth
 Then why should men on earth be so sad?
 Since our Redeemer made us glad
 Then why should men on earth be so sad?
 Since our Redeemer made us glad
 When from our sin he set us free
 All for to gain our liberty?
 When sin departs before His grace
 Then life and health come in its place
 When sin departs before His grace
 Then life and health come in its place
 Angels and men with joy may sing
 All for to see the newborn King
 All out of darkness, we have light
 Which made the angels sing this night
 All out of darkness, we have light
 Which made the angels sing this night
 Glory to God and peace to men
 Now and for evermore
 Evermore, amen
