God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (arr. S. Kelly and J. Robertson)

God rest your merry, gentlemen,
let nothing you dismay.
Remember, Christ, our Saviour,
was born upon this 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.

From God our Heavently 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 Name 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 ye withing 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.
