God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Saviour

Was born on Christmas day

To Save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray


O, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O, tidings of comfort and joy


From God our Heavenly Father

A blessed angel came

And unto certain shepherds

Brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born

The son of God by name


O, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O, tidings of comfort and joy


The shepherds at those tidings

Rejoiced much in mind

And left their flocks a-feeding

In tempest, storm, and wind

And went to Bethlehem straightway

This blessed babe to find


O, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O, tidings of comfort and joy


But when to Bethlehem they came

Whereat this infant lay

They found him in a manger

Where oxen feed on hay

His mother Mary kneeling

Unto the Lord did pray


O, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O, tidings of comfort and joy


Now to the Lord sing praises

All you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmastime

All other doth deface


O, tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

O, tidings of comfort and joy
