God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest you merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay,

Remember Christ our Savior

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 tiding 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!



--- Instrumental ---



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 Christmas

Doth bring redeeming grace

O tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy!...
