Christopher Keefer - Merry Gentlemen Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
God rest you 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.

[Chorus]
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

[Instrumental Variation]

[Verse 2]
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And the hope he spoke to them,
Today is just the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name.

[Chorus]
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

[Instrumental Variation]

[Verse 3]
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place,
Return the love he's given us,
And each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas,
That saved the human race.

[Chorus]
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy;
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

[Instrumental Outro]
(Comfort and Joy!)
(Comfort and Joy...)
(Comfort and Joy...)
[End]
