God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen

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.

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.

"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.

The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind,
And left their flocks afeeding,
In tempest, storm, and wind,
And went to Bethlehem straightway,
This blessed Babe to find.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

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 other doth deface.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Three wise men journeyed onward,
Led by a shining star,
To seek the Holy Infant,
Who’d come to heal afar.
With gifts of gold and incense sweet,
They worshipped at His feet.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

The humble manger held Him,
The Lord of earth and sky,
Who came to bring salvation,
And hear His people’s cry.
Rejoice, for through His holy birth,
He brings us peace on earth.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.

Oh, let us join the angels,
Their song of praise to sing,
To honor Christ, our Savior,
The world’s eternal King.
With hearts uplifted, voices raise,
Proclaim His wondrous ways.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
O tidings of comfort and joy.
