God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen народний різдвяний гімн, 1833
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
From God our heavenly father The 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 Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not said the angel Let nothing you affright This day is born a savior Of the pure virgin bright To free all those who trust in him From Satan's power and might Oh tidings of comfort and joy
And when they came to Bethlehem Where our dear savior lay They found him in the manger Where oxen feed on hay His mother Mary kneeled down And to the Lord did pray Oh tidings of comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our savior Was born on Christmas day
