Description

Expressing the good news of the birth of Christ, who is born to save, this medieval carol calls all Christians to “rejoice with heart and soul and voice!”. The earliest manuscript of the text dates from around 1400 (Leipzig), though the carol wasn’t published until 1533 in Joseph Klug’s Geistliche Lieder (PHH 126). Mention of the carol, however, was made by a fourteenth century writer who claimed that angels sang this hymn while dancing with the mystic Heinrich Suso (d. 1366). The carol is part of the late medieval tradition of teaching Bible stories to peasants by means of folk music. The original bilingual text combined Latin and German.

Arranged for TTBB choir with piano accompaniment

Good Christian Men Rejoice
==========================

Good Christian men, rejoice
With heart, and soul, and voice;
Give ye heed to what we say:
News! News!
Jesus Christ was born to-day:
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 hath ope’d 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!
