[00:00.01] Loreena McKennitt - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
[00:14.10]
[00:28.17] God rest ye merry, gentlemen,
[00:30.75] Let nothing you dismay
[00:33.58] Remember Christ our Saviour
[00:36.46] Was born on Christmas Day
[00:39.32] To save us all from Satan's power
[00:42.33] When we were gone astray.
[00:44.50] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[00:48.82] Comfort and joy;
[00:50.24] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[00:54.97]
[01:24.35] "Fear not," then said the angel
[01:27.14] "Let nothing you affright
[01:29.85] This day is born a saviour
[01:32.73] Of a pure virgin bright
[01:35.53] To free all those who trust in him
[01:38.44] From Satan's pow'r and might"
[01:40.73] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[01:44.91] Comfort and joy;
[01:46.45] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[01:52.62]
[02:19.97] The shepherds at those tidings
[02:22.59] Rejoiced much in mind,
[02:25.34] And left their flocks a-feeding
[02:28.05] In tempest, storm and wind
[02:30.88] And went to Bethlehem straightaway
[02:33.81] This blessed babe to find
[02:36.30] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[02:40.01] Comfort and joy;
[02:41.65] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[02:46.36]
[04:11.43] But when to Bethlehem they came
[04:13.96] Whereat this infant lay
[04:16.46] They found him in a manger
[04:19.31] Where oxen feed on hay
[04:21.89] His mother Mary kneeling
[04:24.95] Unto the Lord did pray
[04:27.05] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[04:31.08] Comfort and joy;
[04:32.69] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[04:37.45]
[04:38.77] Now to the Lord sing praises
[04:41.16] All you within this place
[04:43.75] And with true love and brotherhood
[04:46.56] Each other now embrace
[04:49.10] This holy tide of Christmas
[04:51.95] All others doth deface
[04:54.23] O tidings of comfort and joy,
[04:58.22] Comfort and joy;
[04:59.74] O tidings of comfort and joy!
[05:05.14]
