God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our saviour

Was born on Christmas day
   G                Dm
To save us all from Satan's power

From god our heavenly father
Dm
A blessed angel came

And unto certain shepherds
Dm
Brought tidings of the same
    G             Dm
How that in Bethlehem was born
                  C
The son of god by name
  Dm         Am          Dm
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 anger to erase

Comfort and joy
