God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen Songtext
von Dustin Kensrue

God rest you merry gentlemen that nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan′s power when we were gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

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

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy


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, this blessed Babe to find

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

But when to Bethlehem they came, whereat this Infant lay
They found Him in a manger, where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord, did pray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace
And no more walking shadow, your sins have been erased


Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
