Sussex Carol

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

Then why should men on Earth be sad?
Since our Redeemer made us glad
Why should men on Earth be sad?
Since our Redeemer made us glad
When from our sin He set us free
All for to gain our liberty

When sin departs before His grace
Then life and health come in its placе
When sin departs beforе His grace
Then life and health come in its place
Angels and men with joy may sing

For all to see the newborn King
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 and peace to men

Now and forever more amen
