God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics

Chris Rice God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

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
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
