W:God rest you merry, gentlemen
W:
W:1. God rest you merry, gentlemen,
W:Let nothing you dismay,
W:For Jesus Christ our Saviour
W:Was born upon this day,
W:To save us all from Satan's power
W:When we were gone astray:
W:O tidings of comfort and joy,
W:comfort and joy,
W:O tidings of comfort and joy.
W:
W:2. From God our heavenly Father
W:A blessed angel came,
W:And unto certain shepherds
W:Brought tidings of the same,
W:How that in Bethlehem was born
W:The Son of God by name:
W:
W:3. The shepherds at those tidings
W:Rejoiced much in mind,
W:And left their flocks a-feeding
W:In tempest, storm and wind,
W:And went to Bethlehem straightway,
W:This blessed Babe to find:
W:
W:4. But when to Bethlehem they came,
W:Whereat this Infant lay,
W:They found Him in a manger,
W:Where oxen feed on hay;
W:His mother Mary kneeling,
W:Unto the Lord did pray:
W:
W:5. Now to the Lord sing praises,
W:All you within this place,
W:And with true love and brotherhood
W:Each other now embrace;
W:This holy tide of Christmas
W:All other doth deface
