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 were gone astray

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 tiding of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name



"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"



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
