God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

Oh tidings of comfort and joy, ^*1
Comfort and joy, ^*2
Oh tidings of comfort and joy  ^*3

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, ^*4
Let nothing you dismay, ^*5
Remember Christ our Savior ^*6
Was born on Christmas Day; ^*7
To save us all from Satan's power ^*8
When we were gone astray.  ^*9

Oh tidings of comfort and joy, ^*10
Comfort and joy, ^*11
Oh tidings of comfort and joy  ^*12

In Bethlehem in Israel, ^*13
This blessed Babe was born ^*14
And laid within a manger ^*15
Upon this blessed morn ^*16
That which His Mother Mary ^*17
Did nothing take in scorn  ^*18

From God our Heavenly Father ^*19
A blessed Angel came ^*20
And unto certain Shepherds ^*21
Brought tidings of the same: ^*22
How that in Bethlehem was born ^*23
The Son of God by Name.  ^*24

Oh tidings of comfort and joy, ^*25
Comfort and joy, ^*26
Oh tidings of comfort and joy  ^*27

But when they came to Bethlehem ^*28
Where our dear Saviour lay ^*29
They found Him in a manger, ^*30
Where oxen feed on hay; ^*31
His mother Mary kneeling down, ^*32
Unto the Lord did pray.  ^*33

Oh tidings of comfort and joy, ^*34
Comfort and joy, ^*35
Oh tidings of comfort and joy  ^*36

Now to the Lord sing praises, ^*37
All you within this place, ^*38
And with true love and brotherhood ^*39
Each other now embrace; ^*40
This holy tide of Christmas ^*41
All other doth efface.  ^*42
