God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Songtext / Lyric

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 had gone astray.



Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.



Now, In Bethlehem, in Israel,

This blessed Babe was born

And laid within a manger

Upon this blessed morn






The which His Mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy.



Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Good, 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.

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

Good, tidings of comfort and joy

Good, tidings of comfort and joy
