1. God Rest You Merry VERSE 1 God make you merry, full of joy,
Let nothing you dismay.
For Jesus Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day,
To save us all from Satan's power,
When we were gone astray.

2. O tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
CHORUS
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy.

VERSE 2
From God our heavenly 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.

4. O tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
CHORUS
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy.

VERSE 3
"Fear not, then," said the angel,
"Let nothing you dismay
The promised Christ, the Saviour,
Was born upon this day.
To free all those who trust in Him,
From Satan's power and sway."

O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy.

7. Now to the Lord sing praises, All you within this place
VERSE 4
Now to the Lord sing praises,
All you within this place
Whose sins were borne by Jesus Christ, His wrath we'll never Face!
Forgiven, now a child of God,
So lavish is God's grace.

8. O tidings of comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy.
CHORUS
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy.
O tidings of comfort and joy.
