God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen

Meter: Irregular with refrain Appears in 120 hymnals Topics: Christian Year and Observances Christmas Refrain First Line: O tidings of comfort and joy Lyrics: 1 God rest you merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, for Jesus Christ our Savior was born upon this day, to save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray. Refrain: O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy; O tidings of comfort and joy. 2 In Bethlehem in Judah this blessed babe was born, and laid within a manger upon this blessed morn: for which his mother Mary did nothing take in scorn. [Refrain] 3 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. [Refrain] 4 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, the blessed babe to find. [Refrain] 5 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 all others doth deface. [Refrain] Scripture: Luke 2:8-13 Used With Tune: GOD REST YOU MERRY Text Sources: Traditional English carol, 18th cent.
