"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is a Christmas song written by Luke 2.
Lyrics[]
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born this Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
[Chorus]
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem in Israel
This blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
Tp which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
