Hymnal: Worship and Song #3064 (2011) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: On Christmas night all Christians sing Lyrics: 1 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.
2 Then why should we on earth be sad,
since our Redeemer made us glad.
Then why should we on earth be sad,
since our Redeemer made us glad;
when from our sin he set us free,
all for to gain our liberty?
3 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;
heaven and earth with joy may sing,
all for to see the newborn King.
4 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, on earth be peace,
goodwill to all shall never cease."
