Lyrics
|
|
God rest ye merry gentlemen,
|
|
Let nothing you dismay,
|
|
For Jesus Christ our Savior
|
|
was born upon this 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 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 a-feeding
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
But when to Bethlehem they came
|
|
whereat this infant lay,
|
|
they found Him in a manger,
|
|
where oxen feed on hay.
|
|
His mother Mary kneeling
|
|
unto the Lord did pray.
|
|
|
|
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
|
|
comfort and joy!
|
|
O, tidings of comfort and joy.
|
|
|
|
Now to the Lord sing praises,
|
|
all ye within this place.
|
|
And with true love and brotherhood
|
|
each other now embrace.
|
|
This holy tide of Christmas
|
|
all others doth deface!
|
|
|
|
O, tidings of comfort and joy,
|
|
comfort and joy!
|
|
O, tidings of comfort and joy.
