God Rest You Merry Gentlemen Christmas carol lyrics

A traditional Christmas carol describing the manger scene of Jesus' birth and encouraging men to rejoice at the birth of their savior.

God rest you merry, gentlemen,

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Savior

Was born on Christmas Day;

To save us all from Satan’s pow’r

When we were gone astray.

CHORUS

O Tidings of comfort and joy,

Comfort and joy,

O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem , in Jewry,

This blessed Babe was born,

And laid within a manger

Up on this blessed morn;

The which His Mother Mary,

Did nothing take in scorn.

From God our heav’nly 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.
