Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ is born today;
Earth and heav'n before him bow,
And he is in the manger now.
Christ is born today!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath op'ed the heavenly door,
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Good Christian men, rejoice,
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave:
Jesus Christ was born to save!
Calls you one and calls you all
To gain his everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save!
Heinrich Suso (?-1366)
Translated from Latin to English by John Mason Neale, 1853
Tune: In Dulci Jubilo, a Fourteenth Century German Melody
Harmony from Christmas Carols Old and New, 1871

Good afternoon Dorothy. Hope you are staying warm in your deep freeze part of the world. My kids got 7 additional inches of snow in Washington last night. Love the hymn. We do have lots to rejoice about!!
Hi Dorothy,
Thanks for posing this song. I just sang it to my son and daughter in law!
