|
<p>God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,<br>
|
|
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas Day;<br>
|
|
To save us all from Satan’s power when we were gone astray.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;<br>
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy.</p>
|
|
<p>In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessèd Babe was born,<br>
|
|
And laid within a manger upon this blessèd morn;<br>
|
|
The which His mother Mary did nothing take in scorn.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>From God our heavenly Father a blessèd angel came;<br>
|
|
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same;<br>
|
|
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>“Fear not, then,” said the angel, “Let nothing you afright<br>
|
|
This day is born a Savior of a pure Virgin bright,<br>
|
|
To free all those who trust in Him from Satan’s power and might.”</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind,<br>
|
|
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest, storm and wind,<br>
|
|
And went to Bethl’em straightaway this blessèd Babe to find.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>But when to Bethlehem they came where our dear Savior lay,<br>
|
|
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay;<br>
|
|
His mother Mary kneeling unto the Lord did pray.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place,<br>
|
|
And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace;<br>
|
|
This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface.</p>
|
|
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
|
|
<p>God bless the ruler of this house, and send him long to reign,<br>
|
|
And many a merry Christmas may live to see again;<br>
|
|
Among your friends and kindred that live both far and near—</p>
|
|
<p>That God send you a happy new year, happy new year,<br>
|
|
And God send you a happy new year.</p>
