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. |
|
In Bethlehem, in |
|
Jewry, This blessed |
|
Babe was born, |
|
And laid within a manger, |
|
Upon this blessed morn; |
|
That which |
|
His Mother |
|
Mary, Did nothing take in scorn. |
|
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. "Fear not," then said the |
|
Angel, "let nothing you affright, This day is born a Saviour Of pure Virgin bright, To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and might." |
|
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, |
|
The Son of |
|
God to find. |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
Comfort and joy, |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy. |
|
And when they came to |
|
Bethlehem |
|
Where our dear |
|
Saviour lay, |
|
They found |
|
Him in a manger, |
|
Where oxen feed on hay; |
|
His Mother |
|
Mary kneeling down, |
|
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 you within this place, |
|
And with true love and brotherhood |
|
Each other now embrace; |
|
This holy tide of |
|
Christmas |
|
All other doth deface. |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
Comfort and joy, |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy. |
