God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Saviour Was born on Christmas Day; To save us all from SatanÂŽs 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. 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 SatanÂŽs power and might." 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 Doth bring redeeming grace.
