God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Songtext / Lyric

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

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy



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

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy






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

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy



"Fear not then." Said the Angel

"Let nothing you affright

This day is born a Saviour

Of a pure Virgin bright



To free all those who trust in Him

From Satan's power and might"

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy



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

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy

O tidings of comfort and joy
