God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen

  1. God rest you 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.
  2. 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.
  3. “Fear not, then,” said the angel,
    “let nothing you affright;
    this day is born a Savior
    of a pure virgin bright,
    to free all those who trust in him
    from Satan’s pow’r and might.”
    O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
    O tidings of comfort and joy.
  4. 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.
