God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
David Hasselhoff · Other Songs - David Hasselhoff
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings just the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
(Comfort and joy)
O tiding of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born upon this 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
O tidings of comfort and joy
(Tidings of comfort and joy)
Joy
