God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen,
Let Nothing You Dismay.
For Jesus 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,
For Jesus Christ Our Savior
Was Born On Christmas Day.
Alternate Chorus (From Bramley & Stainer)
O Tidings Of Comfort And Joy,
Comfort And Joy;
O Tidings Of Comfort And Joy.
In Bethlehem, In Jury,
This Blessed Babe Was Born,
And Laid Within A Manger,
Upon This Blessed Morn;
The Which His Mother Mary
Did Nothing Take In Scorn.
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:
Fear Not, Then Said The Angel,
Let Nothing You Affright,
This Day Is Born A Savior,
Of Virtue, Power, And Might;
So Frequently To Vanquish All,
The Friends Of Satan Quite;
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,
This Blessed Babe To Find:
But When To Bethlehem They Came,
Whereas This Infant Lay
They Found Him In A Manger,
Where Oxen Feed On Hay;
His Mother Mary Kneeling,
Unto The Lord Did Pray:
With Sudden Joy And Gladness
The Shepherds Were Beguiled,
To See The Babe If Israel,
Before His Mother Mild,
O Then With Joy And Cheerfulness
Rejoice, Each Mother’s Child.
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.
God Bless The Ruler Of This House,
And Send Him Long To Reign,
And Many A Merry Christmas
May Live To See Again;
Among Your Friends And Kindred
That Live Both Far And Near.
