On Christmas Night (Sussex Carol)
On Christmas night all Christians sing
To heare what news the Angels bring
News of great Joy cause of great mirth
News of our mercifull King his birth
The King of Kings of Earth and heaven
The King of Angels and of men
Angels and men with Joy may sing
To see their new born King.
Angels with Joy sing in the Ayre
To him who can their ruins repaire
And prissoners in the Limbs rejoyce
To hear the Ecchoes of their voice
And how on Earth can man be sad
The Redeemer is come to make them glad.
From sin and hell to set them free
And buy their Liberty.
Then sin depart behould here's grace
And death here's life come in they place
Hell now thou mayst they terror see
Thy power great must Conquer'd be
And for thy darkness we have light
Which makes the Angels sing this night
Glory to God and peace to men
For ever more. Amen.
