God rest you merry, gentlemen
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour,
Was born upon this
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 Jewry
This blessed Babe was born,
And laid within a
manger
Upon this blessed morn;
The which his mother Mary
Nothing did 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 virtue,
power and might,
So frequently to vanquish all
The friends of Satan quite.' Refrain
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
This blessed Babe to find.
Refrain
But when to Bethlehem they came,
Whereat this Infant lay,
They found him in a manger
Where oxen fed on
hay;
His mother Mary, kneeling,
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.
The holy tide of Christmas
All others doth efface. Refrain
