Sussex Carol (Arr. For Choir And Organ By Philip Ledger)

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
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
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the new—born King."
