God rest ye mer-ry,
gen-tle-men,
Let noth-ing you dis-may;
Re-mem-ber Christ, our Sa--viour,
Was born on Christ-mas day,
To save us all from Sa-tan's pow'r
When we were gone a-stray:
O - tid-ings of com--fort and joy, com-fort
and joy,
O - tid--ings of com--fort and
joy. In Beth-le-hem in
Jew--ry
This bless-ed Babe was born,
And laid with-in a man--ger
U-pon this bless-ed morn;
The which His Moth-er, Ma--ry
Did noth-ing take in scorn:
O - tid-ings of com--fort and joy, com-fort
and joy,
O - tid--ings of com--fort and
joy.
From God, our heavn'-ly Fa--ther
A bless-ed an-gel came,
And un-to cer-tain shep--herds
Brought tid-ings of the same,
How that in Beth-le-hem was born
The Son of God by name:
O - tid-ings of com--fort and joy, com-fort
and joy,
O - tid--ings of com--fort and
joy.
Fear not, then said the an--gel,
Let noth-ing you af-fright,
This day is born a Sa--viour,
Of vir-tue, pow'r and might;
So fre-quent-ly to van-quish all
The friends of Sa-tan quite.
O - tid-ings of com--fort and joy, com-fort
and joy,
O - tid--ings of com--fort and
joy.
The shep-herds at those tid--ings
Re-jo-ced much in mind,
And left their flocks a-feed--ing,
In tem-pest, storm and wind,
And went to Beth-le-hem straight-way
This bless-ed Babe to find:
O - tid-ings of com--fort and joy, com-fort
and joy,
O - tid--ings of com--fort and joy. |
