Good Christian men, rejoice and sing by Melchior Vulpius — Lyrics
Good Christian men, rejoice and sing.
Now is the triumph of our King.
To all the world glad news we bring:
Alleluia.
The Lord of Life is risen for ay:
bring flowers of song to strew his way;
let all mankind rejoice and say
Alleluia.

About Good Christian men, rejoice and sing
This hymn tune by Melchior Vulpius is a jubilant setting for SATB choir, perfect for Easter celebrations. Its English text rejoices in the resurrection of Christ, heralding the triumph of our King and bringing glad tidings to all. The lyrics speak of strewing flowers of song to honour the risen Lord and proclaiming that Love and Life, which cannot die, have been restored. The music is designed to encourage hearts uplifted high, reflecting the victory and newfound life brought by Christ's resurrection. The composer captures the exultant spirit of the season, calling for praise and unified singing with one accord.
