God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
c. 1400s · Traditional
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
In Bethlehem of Israel this blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn
To which his mother Mary did take nothing then in scorn
Tidings of comfort and joy
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
