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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy



From God, our heavenly Father

A blessed angel came

And unto certain poor 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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy



Fear not then said the angel, 

Let nothing you affright

This day is born a Savior of pure virgin bright

To free all those who trust in Him

From Satan’s power and might

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy



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 

All others doth deface

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy



God rest ye, rest ye merry

God rest ye 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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy



God rest ye gentlemen

Comfort and comfort and joy
