Good Christian friends, rejoice — Lyrics
Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice;
give ye heed to what we say:
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!
Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice;
now ye hear of endless bliss;
Jesus Christ was born for this!

About Good Christian friends, rejoice
Sung at Christmas, this well-known carol is for SATB choir in English. The text celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ, proclaiming "Jesus Christ is born today!" and "Jesus Christ was born for this!" It speaks of the joy and bliss that his birth brings, opening heaven's door and saving us from the grave. The carol urges listeners to "rejoice with heart and soul and voice," inviting all to embrace the salvation offered through Christ's birth and to gain "his everlasting hall."
