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. 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 tiding of the same;

how that in bethlehem was born

the son of god by name. 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 others doth deface.
