April 1907Noted by George Butterworth1. On Christmas night all Christians sing
To hear what news the angels bring.
News of great joy and news of mirth,
News of our merciful Saviour's birth.
2. There's kings of kings, of earth and heaven,
There's kings of angels and of men.
Angels and men with joy may sing,
To hear what news the angels bring.
3. For out of darkness we have light,
Which makes all Christians sing this night.
Pris'ners all in their chains rejoice,
To hear the echo of a voice.MusicXML PartMusicXML Default153180system20majorG2E421quarterupsingleOnG441halfupbeginChristG421quarterupendmasF441halfupsinglenightF421quarterupsingleallE441halfupbeginChristE421quarterupendiansD421quarterupsinglesing,C421quarterupB321quarterupsingleToC441halfupsinglehearC421quarterupsinglewhatD421quarterupsinglenewsE421quarterupF421quarterupsinglethe1290E441halfupbeginanD421quarterupendgelsC461halfupsinglebring.E461halfupsingleNewsD441halfupsingleofC421quarterupsinglegreatD421quarterupsinglejoyE421quarterupF421quarterupsingleandG421quarterupsinglenewsF421quarterupE421quarterupsingleofD4121wholesinglemirth,G461halfupsingleNewsA461halfupsingleof1290G441halfupsingleNewsE421quarterupF461halfupsingleof,G461halfupsingleNewsC441halfupsingleofC421quarterupsingleourD421quarterupbeginmerE421quarterupmiddleciF421quarterupendfulE441halfupbeginSavD421quarterupendiour'sC461halfupsinglebirthC441halfuplight-heavy
