Good Christian friends, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ was born today.
Ox and ass before him bow,
And he is in the manger now.
Christ is born today!
Christ is born today!

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 we are blest forevermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

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!

Good Christian friends, arise,
Let praises fill the skies;
Angels sing and shepherds bow,
Jesus reigns in glory now.
Peace on earth and grace divine,
In the Child, the holy sign.
Christ is King today!
Christ is King today!

Good Christian friends, proclaim,
The power of His name;
Through the darkness shines the light,
Breaking chains and ending night.
Joy to all, the Savior lives,
Grace and love His mercy gives.
Christ is Lord of all!
Christ is Lord of all!

Good Christian friends, unite,
In faith and holy light;
Spread the word from shore to shore,
Christ shall reign forevermore.
Lift your hearts and voices high,
Let His glory fill the sky.
Christ shall reign supreme!
Christ shall reign supreme!

On Christmas Day in the morning?

Our Savior Christ and His lady
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Our Savior Christ and His lady
On Christmas Day in the morning

Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Pray, wither sailed those ships all three
On Christmas Day in the morning

O, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
O, they sailed into Bethlehem
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the bells on Earth shall ring
On Christmas Day in the morning

And all the angels joy did sing
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
And all the angels joy did sing
On Christmas Day in the morning

The shepherds came to see the sight
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
The shepherds came to see the sight
On Christmas Day in the morning

Let every heart with gladness shine
On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day
Let every heart with gladness shine
On Christmas Day in the morning
