God Rest Ye
Merry Gentlemen
VERSE 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
REFRAIN
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
VERSE 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
VERSE 3
Fear not then, said the angel
Let nothing you affright
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
VERSE 4
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks afeeding
In tempest storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The blessed Babe to find
VERSE 5
