GOD REST YOU MERRY GENTLEMEN

1.  God rest you merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
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!

2.  From God our heavenly Father

A blessed angel came,
And unto certain shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same,
How that inBethlehem was born
The Son of God by name: *


3.  And when they came to Bethlehem

Where our dear Saviour lay.
They found him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray: *



4.  Now to the Lord sing praises,

All you within this place,
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other new embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
All other doth efface: *
