God Rest You Merry Gentlemen
Chor O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
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 angle came
And unto certain sheperds
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
"Fear not" then said the angel
Let nothing you afright
This day is born a Saviour
Of virgin, pure and bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might
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 Chritsmas
All others doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
