The Sussex Carol Songtext
von Aled Jones

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 so sad?
Since our redeemer made us glad
Then why should men on earth be so 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 place
When sin departs before his grace
Then life and health come in its place

Angels and men with joy may sing
All for 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 on earth"
"Now and for evermore"
"Now and for evermore, amen!"
