Go rest ye merry, gentlemen

Go rest ye merry, gentlemen
God rest ye 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,
O tidings of comfort and joy.

In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe
Was born
And laid within a manger upon this
Blessed morn;
The which His mother Mary did nothing take
In scorn
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy.
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,
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
