God Rest You Merry Gentlemen (unbekannt) |

-
God rest you, merry gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this day;
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.
Ref.: O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!
-
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tiding of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.
Ref.: O tidings of comfort and joy, …
-
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoyced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm and wind.
And went to Bethlehem straight-way,
This blessed babe find
Ref.: O 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;
This holy tide of Christmas
All others does deface.
Ref.: O tidings of comfort and joy, …
