lyrics

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
-traditional

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day
To save us from temptation when we were gone astray.

From God our heavenly Father, a holy angel came
The shepherds saw the glory and heard the voice proclaim
That Christ was born in Bethlehem and Jesus is his name

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

The shepherds at these tidings rejoiced in heart and mind
And on the darkened hillside they left their flocks behind
Went to Bethlehem straightway the holy child to find

There in Bethlehem, where Christ the infant lay
They found him in a manger where oxen fed on hay
Beside her newborn child, his mother knelt to pray

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

Now with the world sing praises all people in this place
with sacred love and fellowship, each other now embrace
And let this Christmas Festival all bitterness displace

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tiding of comfort and joy
