Lyrics
God rest you merry, gentlemen let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas-day
To save us all from Satan's power when we were gone astray.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Comfort and joy, O 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.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
Fear not, then said the Angel, let nothing you affright,
This day is born a Savior of Virgin pure and bright,
To free all those who trust in him from Satan's power and might.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place,
And with true love and charity each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas is filled with heavenly grace.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
This is an all time favorite of mine, I have always played this as an instrumental on the flute (years ago) so I don't really know the lyrics so it is a real treat to hear them. You did a great job on this Christmas classic Bob! Looks like I know what player I will be playing this season.
