God Rest You MerryFirst Verse God rest you mer-ry gen-tle-men, Let no-thing you dis-may, For Je-sus Christ our Sa-vior Was born up-on this day, To save us all from Sa-tan's power When we were gone a-stray: O___ti-dings of com-fort and joy, com-fort and joy,___ O___ti-dings of com-fort and__joy. Second Verse From God our heav'n-ly Fa-ther A bless-ed an-gel came, And un-to cer-tain shep-herds Brought ti-dings of the same, How that in Beth-le-hem was born The son of God by name: O___ti-dings of com-fort and joy, com-fort and joy,___ O___ti-dings of com-fort and__joy. Third Verse The shep-hers at those ti-dings Re-joic-ed much in mind, And left their flocks a-feed-ing, In tem-pest, storm, and wind, And went to Beth-le-hem straigh-way This bless-ed babe to find: O___ti-dings of com-fort and joy, com-fort and joy,___ O___ti-dings of com-fort and__joy. Fourth Verse But when to Beth-le-hem they came, Whereat this in-fant lay, They found him in a man-ger, Where oxen feed on hay; His mother Mary kneel-ing, Unto the Lord did pray: O___ti-dings of com-fort and joy, com-fort and joy,___ O___ti-dings of com-fort and__joy. Fifth Verse Now to the Lord sing praises, All you with-in this place, And with true love and bro-ther-hood Each other now embrace; This holy tide of Christ-mas All others doth deface: O___ti-dings of com-fort and joy, com-fort and joy,___ O___ti-dings of com-fort and__joy.
