Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News!
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;
Joy! Joy!
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened the heav'nly door
And man is blessed evermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!
Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice;
Now ye need not fear the grave;
Peace! Peace!
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!
Psalms Chapter 34 (New American Bible)
1
I will bless the LORD at all times; praise shall be always in my mouth.
2
My soul will glory in the LORD that the poor may hear and be glad.
3
Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
4
I sought the LORD, who answered me, delivered me from all my fears.
5
Look to God that you may be radiant with joy and your faces may not blush for shame.
6
In my misfortune I called, the LORD heard and saved me from all distress.
7
The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God.
8
Learn to savor how good the LORD is; happy are those who take refuge in him.
9
Fear the LORD, you holy ones; nothing is lacking to those who fear him.
10
The powerful grow poor and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11
Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12
Who among you loves life, takes delight in prosperous days?
13
Keep your tongue from evil, your lips from speaking lies.
14
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15
The LORD has eyes for the just and ears for their cry.
16
The LORD'S face is against evildoers to wipe out their memory from the earth.
17
When the just cry out, the LORD hears and rescues them from all distress.
18
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.
19
Many are the troubles of the just, but the LORD delivers from them all.
20
God watches over all their bones; not a one shall be broken.
21
Evil will slay the wicked; those who hate the just are condemned.
22
The LORD redeems loyal servants; no one is condemned whose refuge is God.
Isaiah 62:10-12
10
Pass through, pass through the gates, prepare the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway, clear it of stones, raise up a standard over the nations.
11
See, the LORD proclaims to the ends of the earth: Say to daughter Zion, your savior comes! Here is his reward with him, his recompense before him.
12
They shall be called the holy people, the redeemed of the LORD, And you shall be be called "Frequented," a city that is not forsaken.
