God rest ye merry gentleman
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our saviour

To save us all from Satan's power
We were gone astray

And a happy New Year, a happy New Year
And a happy New Year

The Kidzone's song We Wish You A Merry Christmas is a classic Christmas carol tune that was popularized in the mid-16th century in England. This song is sung to express the heartwarming feelings that come with the holiday festivities. The song wishes everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, spreading joy and happiness. Additionally, it reminds us that Christ our savior was born on Christmas Day to save us from Satan's power, and we were all once astray. The song brings a comforting sense that Jesus' birth brought us closer to God; hence, we should not be distressed, but rather jubilant.
The first stanza of the song sets the tone for the entire song, starting with a warm greeting of Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. The song goes ahead to reference the song "God Rest Ye Merry Gentleman," which is believed to be a traditional English Christmas carol that dates back to the 18th century. The reference to the song is used to emphasize the joy that they are bringing forth. The next few lines remind Christians of the reason for the season, which is the birth of Jesus Christ. The song goes further to explain that Jesus' birth was to save us from Satan's power, as we were all once astray. Finally, the song ends with a statement that wishes people a Happy New Year, creating an atmosphere of positivity and hope.
