God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Divine Joy: Unveiling the Spiritual Message of 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen'
Lyrics
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
May God grant you peace and happiness, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Do not let anything trouble you or cause you distress,
Remember Christ our Savior
Recall Jesus Christ, our Redeemer,
Was born on Christmas Day;
Who was born on Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's power
To rescue all of us from the influence of Satan's control,
When we were gone astray.
When we were led astray or lost.
(Oh tidings of comfort and joy),
(Oh news of consolation and happiness),
(Comfort and joy),
(Consolation and happiness),
(Oh tidings of comfort and joy)
(Oh news of consolation and happiness),
(Comfort and joy)
(Consolation and happiness)
In Bethlehem in Jewry,
In the town of Bethlehem in Judea,
This blessed Babe was born
This blessed infant was born,
And laid within a manger
And placed in a feeding trough
Upon this blessed morn
On this blessed morning.
The which His Mother Mary
His Mother Mary, without rejecting anything,
Did nothing take in scorn
Accepted this situation with humility or refusal,
(O tidings of comfort and joy,)
(Oh news of consolation and happiness),
(Comfort and joy)
(Consolation and happiness),
(O tidings of comfort and joy)
(Oh news of consolation and happiness),
From God our Heavenly Father
From God, our Heavenly Father,
A blessed Angel came;
An angel came with blessings;
And unto certain Shepherds
And to certain shepherds,
Brought tidings of the same:
Announced the same news:
How that in Bethlehem was born
That in Bethlehem, the Son of God was born and named.
The Son of God by Name.
(Oh news of consolation and happiness),
(O tidings of comfort and joy,)
(Consolation and happiness),
(Comfort and joy)
(Oh news of consolation and happiness),
(O tidings of comfort and joy)
(Consolation and happiness)
