God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics by Moya Brennan

An Irish Christmas

0

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ, our Savior, was born on Christmas day
To save our souls from Satan's power when we had gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Jewry, 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
Now when they came to Bethlehem whereat the Infant lay
They found Him in a manger where oxen fed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down unto the Lord did pray
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 others doth deface
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
