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 

From God our heavenly father 
The 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 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 

Fear not said the angel 
Let nothing you affright 
This day is born a savior 
Of the pure virgin bright 
To free all those who trust in him 
From Satan's power and might 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 

And when they came to Bethlehem 
Where our dear savior lay 
They found him in the manger 
Where oxen feed on hay 
His mother Mary kneeled down 
And to the Lord did pray 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 
Oh tidings of comfort and joy 

God rest ye merry gentlemen 
Let nothing you dismay 
Remember Christ our savior 
Was born on Christmas day
