lyrics

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Traditional - as performed by Allison Crowe

God rest ye merry gentlemen
let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ, our Saviour,
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 tidings of the same:
how that in Bethlehem was born
the Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy

The shepherds at those tidings
rejoiced much in mind
and left their flocks a-feeding
in tempest, storm and wind.
And went to Bethlehem straightway
the Son of God to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy

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 other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
