Testo di God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember christ our saviour, Was born on christmas day . . . To save us all from satans power, When we were gone astray, 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 . . . <instrumental break > Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . . The shepherds at these tidings, Rejoiced much in mind, And left their flocks a feeding, In tempest storm and wind, And went to bethlehem straight way, The blessed babe to find, Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy . . .
