GOD REST YE MERRY GENTLEMEN
Author(s): Jeremy
Songbook: Songs of Love Songbook
KeyWords: Christmas,

God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray

Chorus:
Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem in Judea
This blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which his mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn

[Repeat Chorus]

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

[Repeat Chorus]

Fear not then said the angel
Let nothing you afright
This day is born a Savior
Of virtue, power and might
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might

[Repeat Chorus]

Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy time of Christmas
All others do deface

[Repeat Chorus]
