Traditional Roman Catholicism
Good Christian Men, rejoice
With heart and soul and voice!

Give ye heed to what we say:
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.  

2 Good Christian men, 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 man is blest for evermore.
Christ was born for this.
Christ was born for this.  

3 Good Christian men, 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 win His everlasting hall.
Christ was born to save.
Christ was born to save.
