"All my heart this night rejoices" is a Christmas hymn composed by Johann Georg Ebeling in 1666. The hymn is also known as "Fröhlich soll mein Herze springen" in German. It was first published in Ebeling's hymnal "Pauli Gerhardts Geistliche Andachten" in 1667. The hymn has four stanzas and is written in a joyful and celebratory tone. The first stanza begins with the line "All my heart this night rejoices, as I hear, far and near, sweetest angel voices." The second stanza describes the birth of Jesus and the joy it brings to the world. The third stanza praises Jesus as the savior of the world, and the fourth stanza expresses gratitude and devotion to Jesus. The hymn is typically sung in a moderate tempo and in a major key. It is often accompanied by organ or piano, and sometimes by a choir. The melody is simple and easy to sing, making it a popular choice for congregational singing during Christmas services. "All my heart this night rejoices" has become a beloved Christmas hymn in many Christian denominations. Its joyful and uplifting message of the birth of Jesus and the hope it brings to the world has resonated with generations of worshippers.
