GOD REST YE MERRY, GENTLEMEN God [Em] rest ye merry, gentlemen Let [C] nothing you [B] dismay Re[Em]member Christ our Saviour Was [C] born on Christmas [B] Day To [Am] save us all from [G] Satan's pow'r When [Em] we were gone [D] astray Chorus: [G] Tidings of [B] comfort and [Em] joy, comfort and [D] joy! O [G] tidings of [B] comfort and [Em] joy In Bethlehem, in Judea, this blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn. Chorus 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 Chorus "Fear not, then," said the angel, "Let nothing you afright This day is born a Saviour of a pure Virgin bright To free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might" Chorus 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 Chorus
