{Title: God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen}
{Verse}
[Em]God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let [F#m7]nothing you dis[B7]may,
[Em]Remember Christ our Savior was [F#m7]born on Christmas [B7]Day;
To [Am]save us all from Satan’s [D]power When [G]we were gone [A7]astray.
{Chorus}
[Am] [D]O [G]tidings of [F#m7]comfort and [Em]joy, Comfort and [A7]joy;
O [G]tidings of [F#m7]comfort [Em]and [D]joy.
{Verse}
[Em]In Bethlehem, in Israel, this [F#m7]blessèd Babe was [B7]born,
[Em]And laid within a manger up[F#m7]on this blessèd [B7]morn;
The [Am]which His mother [D]Mary Did [G]nothing take [A7]in scorn.
{Verse}
[Em]From God our heavenly Father a [F#m7]blessèd angel [B7]came;
[Em]And unto certain shepherds brought [F#m7]tidings of the [B7]same;
How [Am]that in Bethlehem was [B7]born The [G]Son of God [A7]by name.
{Verse}
[Em]“Fear not, then,” said the angel, [F#m7]“Let nothing you a[B7]fright
[Em]This day is born a Savior of [F#m7]a pure Virgin [B7]bright,
To [Em]free all those who trust in [B7]Him From [G]Satan’s power [A7]and might.”
{Verse}
[Em]The shepherds at those tidings [F#m7]rejoiced much in [B7]mind,
[Em]And left their flocks a-feeding in [F#m7]tempest, storm and [B7]wind,
And [Em]went to Bethl’em straighta[B7]way This [G]blessed Babe [A7]to find.
{Verse}
[Em]But when to Bethlehem they came [F#m7]where our dear Savior [B7]lay,
[Em]They found Him in a manger [F#m7]where oxen feed on [B7]hay;
His [Em]mother Mary kneel[B7]ing Un[G]to the Lord [A7]did pray.
{Verse}
[Em]Now to the Lord sing praises [F#m7]all you within this [B7]place,
[Em]And with true love and brotherhood [F#m7]each other now em[B7]brace;
This [Em]holy tide of Christ[B7]mas All [G]others doth [A7]deface.
{Verse}
[Em]God bless the ruler of this house, [F#m7]and send him long to [B7]reign,
[Em]And many a merry Christmas may [F#m7]live to see a[B7]gain;
Among [Em]your friends and kin[B7]dred That [G]live both far [A7]and near—
{Bridge}
[Am]That [D]Go[G]od send you a [F#m]happy new [Em]year,
Happy new [A7]year, And [G]God send [F#]you a happy [Em]new [D]year.
