Good Christian Men, Rejoice

Verse 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. (Luke 2:7, Luke 2:16)
Christ is born to­day!
Christ is born to­day!

Verse 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 has op­ened Heaven’s door, (John 10:9)
And man is blest for­ev­er­more.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

Verse 3
Good Christ­ian men, re­joice,
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave: (I Cor. 15:55-56, Heb. 2:14-15)
Peace! Peace! Je­sus Christ was born to save! (Matt. 1:21, I Tim. 1:15)
Calls you one and calls you all,
To gain His ev­er­last­ing hall.
Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!
