Full Lyrics
God rest you merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay,
for Jesus Christ, our Savior was born on Christmas day,
to save us all from Satan's pow'r 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, the blessed angel came,
and unto certain shepherds brought tidings of the same,
how that, in Bethlehem, was born the Son of God by name.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy!
On this day, the world rejoices! Love has come to set us free.
Lift your songs and joyful noises! This, the day of jubilee!
Alleluia! Glory in the highest!
Alleluia! Glory in the highest! Glory in the highest!
Leap with the shepherds, dance for joy!
Shine with the stars and share God's glory!
Now to the Lord sing praises, all you within this place,
and with true love and brotherhood, each other now embrace.
The holy tide of Christmas is heaven's gift of grace.
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
Merry, merry Christmas.
Merry, merry Christmas day!
Sing Merry, merry Christmas.
Merry, merry Christmas.
Merry, merry Christmas day!
Sing out you merry, merry gentlemen.
Rejoice this Christmas day!
