Tuning:

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen There are a LOT of different lyrics to this song! On Wikipedia there are three different versions. These are my favorite verses picked from all three.

^AmGod rest ye merry gentlemen, Let ^Fnothing you ^E7dismay, Re- ^Ammember Christ our Saviour Was ^Fborn on Christmas ^E7day, To ^Dmsave us all from ^CSatan's power When ^Amwe were gone a- ^Gstray:

O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy, comfort and ^Gjoy, O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy.

In Bethlehem, in Israel

The ^Fblessed babe was ^E7born And ^Amlaid within a manger U- ^Fpon this blessed ^E7morn To ^Dmwhich his mother ^CMary did no- ^Amthing take in ^Gscorn.

O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy, comfort and ^Gjoy, O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy.

From God our heavenly Father

A ^Fblessed angel ^E7came, And ^Amunto certain shepherds Brought ^Ftidings of the ^E7same, How ^Dmthat in Bethle- ^Chem was born The ^AmSon of God by ^Gname:

O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy, comfort and ^Gjoy, O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy.

With sudden joy and gladness,

The ^Fshepherds were be- ^E7guil'd, To ^Amsee the Babe of Israel Be- ^Ffore his mother ^E7mild. O ^Dmthen with joy and ^Ccheerfulness Re- ^Amjoice each mother's ^Gchild.

O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy, comfort and ^Gjoy, O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy.

Fear not, then said the Angel,

Let ^Fnothing you af- ^E7fright, This ^Amday is born a Saviour Of ^Fvirtue, power and ^E7might; So ^Dmfrequently to ^Cvanquish all The ^Amfriends of Satan ^Gquite.

O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy, comfort and ^Gjoy, O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy.

Now to the Lord sing praises,

All ^Fyou within this ^E7place Like ^Amwe true loving brethren, Each ^Fother to em- ^E7brace, For the ^Dmmerry time of ^CChristmas Is ^Amcoming on a- ^Gpace.

O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy, comfort and ^Gjoy, O ^Ctidings of ^E7comfort and ^Amjoy.
