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 tiding of comfort and joy      From God our heavenly father   The 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(repeat)      Fear not said the angel   Let nothing you affright   This day is born a savior   Of the pure virgin bright   To free all those who trust in him   From satan’s power and might   Oh tidings of comfort and joy (repeat)      And when they came to bethlehem   Where our dear savior lay   They found him in the manger   Where oxen feed on hay   His mother mary kneeled down   And to the lord did pray   Oh tidings of comfort and joy (repeat)      God rest ye merry gentlemen   Let nothing you dismay   Remember christ our savior   Was born on christmas day
