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.
|
|
"Fear not, then," said the angel,
|
"Let nothing you affright;
|
This day is born a Savior
|
Of a pure virgin bright,
|
To free all those who trust in him
|
From Satan's power and might."
|
|
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.
|
