Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Sussex Carol
Sussex Carol
Sussex Carol
On christmas night all christians sing
to hear the news the angels bring
to hear the news the angels bring
news of great joy
news of great mirth
news of our merciful King's birth
When Sin departs before thy grace
Then life and health come in its place
Then life and health come in its place
Angels and men with joy may sing
All for to see the newborn King
From out of the darkness we have light
which made the angels sing the night
Which made the angels sing the night
Glory to God and Peace to men
Now and forever more A _ men
