"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 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 HEAV'NLY 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.
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.
