Songtext von God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Oh, Jesus Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh, 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 Saviour Of a pure Virgin 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 The Shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a feeding In tempest, storm and wind And went to Bethlehem straightway This son of God to find 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
