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.
