GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
Arranged by: Sir John Stainer
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. In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger, upon this blessed morn
To which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
3. From God our Heav'nly Father, a blessed angel came
Then 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.
4. The shepherds at these 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 comforty and joy.
