About Good Christian Men Rejoice

Good Christian Men, Rejoice” is a very popular Christmas song that has been around for a long time. It was first written in Latin hundreds of years ago by a famous religious teacher named Johannes Anglicus, who was also called Blessed John of Genoa. The music for “Good Christian Men, Rejoice” comes from a traditional German folk song. The fast, upbeat tune with its bouncy rhythm helps make the song feel festive and celebratory.

The song is all about being happy and celebrating during Christmas time. The lyrics ask Christian people to be joyful and merry, because Jesus Christ has been born to save everyone. The word “rejoice” is used over and over in the verses to show how excited and happy the song wants people to feel. Later on, the song was translated into English so more people could sing it. The English version kept the same happy and celebrating tone as the original Latin version.

Lyrics of Good Christian Men Rejoice

Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice;
give ye heed to what we say:
Jesus Christ was 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 friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice;
now ye hear of endless bliss:
Jesus Christ was born for this!
He has opened heaven’s door,
and we are blest forevermore.
Christ was born for this!
Christ was born for this!

Good Christian friends, rejoice
with heart and soul and voice;
now ye need not fear the grave:
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!
