Good Christian Men, Rejoice
Words: Heinrich Suso
Music: In Dulci Jubilo | 14th Century German Melody
1. Good Christian men, rejoice with heart and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say: News! News! 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 men, rejoice, with heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss: Joy! Joy! Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath ope’d the heav’nly door, and man is blessèd evermore. [alt., 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: Peace! Peace! 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!
