God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye 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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Tidings of 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

Comfort and joy

"Oh, fear not," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright

This day is born a Saviour of pure or virgin bright

To free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might"

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Of joy

Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Of joy

Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, 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 deface

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, joy

(Of joy) Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

(Of joy) Tidings of comfort and joy

We have gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
