God Rest Ye Merry,
Gentlemen ~ 1953
Version
God rest ye 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, Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh 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, Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . . <instrumental break > Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . . The Shepherds at these tidings, Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a feeding, In tempest storm and wind, And went to Bethlehem straight way, The blessed babe to find, Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .
