Lyrics:

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

1. God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
let nothing you dismay;
Remember Christ our Savior
was born on Christmas Day;
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
when we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

2. From God our heav’nly 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.

3. “Fear not, then” said the angel,
“Let nothing you affright;
This day is born a Savior
of a pure virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
from Satan's pow'r and might.”

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

4. 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
all others doth deface.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
