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
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
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Now to the Lord sing praises
All you within this place
And with true love and brotherhood
Each other now embrace
This holy tide of Christmas
All others doth deface
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
The lyrics of "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is a traditional English carol song that dates back to the 15th century. It is a hymn of celebration and joy that commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. The song opens up with an invocation to a group of merry gentlemen, urging them not to be dismayed but to remember that Christ our savior was born on Christmas day to save humanity from Satan's power. The song emphasizes the divine significance of Christ's birth and the hope and comfort that his coming brings to humankind.
The second stanza refers to the blessed angel who brought tidings of Christ's birth in Bethlehem to some shepherds. The song acknowledges Jesus Christ as the Son of God who was born in humility and poverty in a manger where oxen feed on hay. This section of the song underscores the theme of the angelic revelation of Christ's birth and the significance of the humble surroundings in which he was born.
The song's third and final stanza reiterates the central themes of praising and embracing each other in true love and brotherhood during the holy tide of Christmas. The lyrics remind the listeners that Christmas is a time for celebrating the birth of Christ, and not for creating division or defacing the celebrations. The song concludes with an optimistic and joyous note of "tidings of comfort and joy."
