Cliff Richard - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen lyrics

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 power
When we were gone astray

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

From God our heav'nly 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

"Fear not, then, " said the angel
"Let nothing you afright
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"

The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a feeding in tempest
Storm and wind
And went to Bethl'em straightaway this
Blessed Babe to find

But when to Bethlehem they came
Whereat this Infant lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling unto
The Lord did pray

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 others doth deface
God bless the ruler of this house
And send him long to reign
And many a merry Christmas may
Live to see again
Among your friends and kindred that live
Both far and near -
That God send you a happy new year
Happy new year
And God send you a happy new year
