Charlie Haden - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics

God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O 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.

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!

"Fear not, then," said the angel,
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might."

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy!
