[Verse 1]
[D]On [G]Chr[D]ist[Em]mas n[A]ig[D]ht,[A]
all [D]Christians [A]sing
To [D]hear [G]the news the [A]angels bring
[D]On Christ[A]mas night all [D]Christians [A]sing
To [D]hear [G]the news the [A]angels [D]bring
[A]News [Em]of great jo[A]y,
news of great mirth
[D]News [G]of our[D] mer[Em]ciful King's [A]birth[D]
Then why [A]should men on [D]earth [A]be sad
Since [D]our [G]Redeem[A]er made us glad?
[D]Then why sho[A]uld men on ear[D]th be [A]sad
Since [D]our [G]Redeem[A]er made us [D]glad,
[A]When from [Em]our [A]sin He set us free,
[D]All [G]for to [D]gai[Em]n our lib[A]erty.[D]
When sin [A]departs before [D]His [A]grace,
Then [D]life and [G]health come [A]in its place.
[D]When sin dep[A]arts befor[D]e His[A] grace,
Then [D]life and [G]health come [A]in its place.
[D]An [A]gels [Em]and [A]men with joy they sing,
[D]All [G]born to [D]see the[Em] newb[A]orn King[D].
O loud [A]of darkness [D]we [A]have light,
Which [D]made [G]the angels [A]sing this night.
[D]All out [A]of darkness [D]we [A]have light,
Which [D]made the an[G]gels [A]sing this [D]night.
[A]Glory [Em]to G[A]od, and peace to men,
[D]Now [G]an d [D]for [Em]everm[A]ore,
[D]Amen.
