God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
by Frank Ralls

Album: Christmas Encounter

Verse 1
God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r when we were gone astray

Chorus 1
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Verse 2
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

Verse 3
(key change)
But when to Bethlehem they came where at this infant lay
They found Him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down unto the Lord did pray

Chorus 2
O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Verse 4
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 other doth deface
