God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, 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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, 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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, 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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, 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 Christmas
All other doth efface

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
