God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman Lyrics - A Christmas Cornucopia - Annie Lennox

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay 

For Jesus Christ, our Savior was born on Christmas Day 

To save us all from Satan's powers when we were gone astray 

Glad tidings of comfort and joy 

Comfort and joy 

Glad tidings of comfort and joy 

In Bethlehem, in Israel this blessed Babe was born 

And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn 

The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn 

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 

"Fear not then, said the angel, let nothing you affright 

This day is born a Savior of a pure virgin bright 

To free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might" 

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 

This holy tide of Christmas all other doth deface 

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy 

Comfort and joy 

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
