GOD REST YE MERRY, GENTLEMEN
Traditional. publ.1853

God rest ye merry, gentlemen; [Em B7 Em]
let nothing you dismay [Em C B7]
Remember Christ our Savior [Em B7 Em]
was born on Christmas Day [Em C B7]
To save us all from Satan's pow'r [Am B7]
when we were gone a-stray [Em D/F#]

O tidings of comfort and joy, [G CG B7 Em]
comfort and joy! [D]
O tidings of comfort and joy [G (/a /b C) B7 Em]

In Bethlehem, in Israel, this blessed Babe was born, and laid within a 
manger upon this blessed morn; The which His Mother Mar-y did nothing take 
in scorn. 

From God our heav'nly 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.
