[Intro]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
[Verse 1]
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, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
[Verse 3]
How that in Bethlehem was born
A blessed baby boy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
[Outro]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
On Christmas Day
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
[Verse 1]
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, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
[Verse 3]
How that in Bethlehem was born
A blessed baby boy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
[Outro]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
