God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, 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!

[Verse 2]
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]

[Verse 3]
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place (Sing praises)
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace (Brotherhood)
This holy tide of Christmas
All beauty in disgrace
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
