God Rest
Ye Merry Gentlemen
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
In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessed Babe was born
And
laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His
Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
Refrain
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.
Refrain
"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."
Refrain
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.
Refrain
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother
Mary kneeling down,
Unto the Lord did pray.
Refrain
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.
Refrain
