lyrics

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Traditional
Arr. By Carolyn Arends

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

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

Chorus

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 others doth deface

Chorus
