God rest you merry, gentlemen, |
|
Let nothing you dismay, |
|
Remember Christ our Savior |
|
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. |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
Comfort and joy, |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy! |
|
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 |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
Comfort and joy, |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy!... |
