Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All is well, all is well
Angels and men rejoice
For tonight darkness fell
Into the dawn of love's light

Sing Alle
Sing Alleluia
All is well, all is well
Let there be peace on earth
Christ is come, go and tell
That He is in the manger

Sing Alle
Sing Alleluia

All is well, all is well
Lift up your voice and sing
Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior

Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia
All is well

Born is now Emmanuel
Sing Alleluia
All is well





All is well

Overall Meaning

"All Is Well" is a song that captures the joy and excitement of the birth of Jesus Christ. The opening lines suggest that both angels and humans are rejoicing, indicating that something significant has just occurred. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the "something" in question is the arrival of the Savior. The darkness that once shrouded the earth has been lifted, replaced by the dawn of "love's light." This phrase is an interesting one, as it suggests that Christ's birth is the beginning of a new, more loving era in human history, rather than simply a miraculous event.


In the second verse, the song shifts the focus to the manger where the newborn Christ lies. The singer encourages the listener to "go and tell" others about the Messiah's birth, highlighting the importance of spreading the good news throughout the world. The third verse is the most celebratory of them all, with the singer urging everyone to lift their voices and sing. The phrases "Born is now Emmanuel" and "Born is our Lord and Savior" are repeated, emphasizing the magnitude of the moment. Finally, the song ends just as it began, with the repeated refrain that "All is well."
