Good Christian Men, Rejoice

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.” | Matthew 2:10

Medieval Latin carol, tr. John Mason Neale
Arranged by Benjamin Gulick

Good Christian men, 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 men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He hath opened heaven’s door,
And man is blessed forevermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

Lift your voices higher
To the King of Kings
Join the angel choirs
Lift your hearts and sing

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!
Christ was born to save!

Christ was born to save!
Christ was born to save!

Lift your voices higher
To the King of Kings
Join the angel choirs
Lift your hearts and sing
