God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics

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.

Refrain:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!

In Bethlehem, in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn. (repeat Refrain)

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name. (repeat Refrain)

The shepherds at these tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks afeeding
In tempest, storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The Blessed babe to find. (repeat Refrain)

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. (repeat Refrain)
