God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen Lyrics
God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen - The Choir of King's College, Cambridge/Simon Preston
God rest you merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ our Savior
Was born upon this Day.
To save poor souls from Satan's power,
We were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh 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
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh 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
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
But when to Bethlehem they came
Whereat this Infant lay
They found him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother mary kneeling down
Unto the lord did pray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh 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
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
