Lyrics of God rest ye merry

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.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

In bethlehem, in jewry,
This blessed babe was born,
And laid within a manger,
Upon this blessed morn;
That which his mother mary,
Did nothing take in scorn.
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.

"fear not," then said the angel,
"let nothing you affright,
This day is born a savior
Of pure virgin 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.

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,
The son of god to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

And when they came to bethlehem
Where our dear savior lay,
They found him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His mother mary kneeling down,
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 other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
