HYMN Lyrics Text: God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen | Christmas Song

1. 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.




2. 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,




3. Fear not, then' said the angel

let nothing Thee afright.

this day is born a Saviour

of a pure virgin bright,

To free all those who trust in Him

from Satan's power and might.




4. Now to the Lord sing praises,

all within this place

And with true love and brotherhood

each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas

doth bring redeeming grace.
