What Good News the Angels Bring

What good news the an­gels bring

What glad tid­ings of our king!

Christ the Lord is born to­day

Christ

who takes our sins away!

He who rules both Heav’n and earth

Hath in Beth­le­hem His birth;

Him shall all the peo­ple see

And re­joice eter­nal­ly.

Lift your hearts and voices high

With ho­san­nas fill the sky;

Glory be to God above

Who is in­fi­nite in love!

Peace on earth

good will to men!

Now with us our God is seen;

Angels

join with us in praise!

Help to sing re­deem­ing grace.

Now the wall is brok­en down

Now the Gos­pel is made known;

Now the door is open wide

Christ for Jew and Gen­tile died;

All who feel the weight of sin

All who lang­uish to be clean;

All who for re­demp­tion groan

May be saved by faith alone.

Jesus is the love­ly name:

This the an­gel doth pro­claim;

He shall all His peo­ple save

They in Him re­mis­sion have;

When they see them­selves un­done

They take re­fuge in the Son;

They shall all be born again

And with Him in glo­ry reign.

Shout

ye na­tions of the earth

Sing the tri­umphs of His birth;

All the world by Him is blest

Sound His praise from east to west;

Jews and Gen­tiles joint­ly sing

Christ our com­mon Lord and king;

Christ

our life

our joy

our song

To eter­ni­ty pro­long!
