God rest ye merry, gentlemen |
|
|
Remember, christ, our saviour |
|
Was born on christmas day |
|
To save us all from satan's power |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
|
|
This blessed babe was born |
|
|
|
The which his mother mary |
|
Did nothing take in scorn |
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
|
From god our heavenly father |
|
|
And unto certain shepherds |
|
Brought tidings of the same: |
|
How that in bethlehem was born |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
|
„Fear not then,“ Said the angel, |
|
„Let nothing you affright, |
|
This day is born a saviour |
|
|
To free all those who trust in him |
|
From satan's power and might.“. |
|
o tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
|
The shepherds at those tidings |
|
|
And left their flocks a-feeding |
|
In tempest, storm and wind: |
|
And went to bethlehem straightway |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
|
And when they came to bethlehem |
|
Where our dear saviour lay, |
|
They found him in a manger, |
|
|
His mother mary kneeling down, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
|
Now to the lord sing praises, |
|
All you within this place, |
|
And with true love and brotherhood |
|
|
This holy tide of christmas |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy, |
|
|
O tidings of comfort and joy |
|
