SUSSEX CAROL
collected from Mrs. Verall, Monks Gate, Sussex
harmonization by R. Vaughan Williams, 1919

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
^^

I've been using a variant of the above, same attribution, in the Oxford Book of Carols.

After the first verse, though with both first lines repeated, comes

Then why should men on earth be so sad
Since our Redeemer made us glad, (2 lines rept)
When from our sin he set us free
All for to gain our liberty.

Verse three began with "his" grace, not "thy"

Verse four ran

All out of darkness we have light
Which made the angels sing this night

Then as MMario gives it after the repeat.

MMario from heaven sent to St. Paul's to sing it.

Right?
