God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

John Schlitt


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 angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How in that Bethlehem was born
The son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy!
Comfort and joy;

To the Lord sing praises,
God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
Remember Christ our Saviour,
Remember Christ our Saviour.

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!
Comfort and joy;

To the Lord sing praises
Sing Praises
Comfort and joy.

His Name is Jesus
