God Rest You Merry Gentlemen

from Carbuncular Christmas! by Paul Carbuncle

lyrics

God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our saviour was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

From God that is our father the blessed angel came
Unto some certain shepherds with tidings of the same
That there was born in Bethlehem the son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

“Go, fear not,” said the angel. “Let nothing you affright
For there is born in Bethlehem of a poor virgin bright
One able to advance you all and throw down Satan quite.”
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

Now when they came to Bethlehem where our sweet saviour lay
They found him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
The blessed virgin kneeling down unto the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place
Like we true loving brethren, each other to embrace
For the merry time of Christmas is coming on a-pace
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our saviour was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy
