God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen |
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 power |
When we were gone astray |
O tidings of comfort and joy |
Comfort and joy |
O tidings of comfort and joy! |
In Bethlehem, in Israel |
The blessed Babe was born |
And laid within a manger |
Upon this blessed morn |
The which His Mother Mary |
Did nothing take in scorn |
O tidings of comfort and joy |
Comfort and joy |
O 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 |
O tidings of comfort and joy |
Comfort and joy |
O tidings of comfort and joy! |
«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 power and might.» |
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 |
The Son of God to find |
O tidings of comfort and joy |
Comfort and joy |
O tidings of comfort and joy! |
And when they came to Bethlehem |
Where our dear Savior lay |
They found Him in a manger |
Where oxen feed on hay; |
His Mother Mary kneeling down |
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 you within this place |
And with true love and brotherhood |
Each other now embrace |
This holy tide of Christmas |
Doth bring redeeming grace |
O tidings of comfort and joy |
Comfort and joy |
O tidings of comfort and joy! |
