| Lyrics: | God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
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 tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son
of God by name:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of
comfort and joy.
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left
their flocks a-feeding,
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway
This blessed babe to find:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
But when to Bethlehem they came,
Whereat this
infant lay
They found him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother Mary
kneeling,
Unto the Lord did pray:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and
joy,
O 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:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy |
