God rest you merry, gentlemen
Don't let anything bring you down
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on this day
To save us all from evil's grip
When we had lost our way
Oh, news of comfort and joy
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
From God, our Heavenly Father
An angel came with grace
And to some humble shepherds
Brought news of love and faith
That in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
Oh, news of comfort and joy
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
The shepherds heard this message
And felt such joy inside
They left their flocks behind them
Through storm and wind they'd stride
And went to Bethlehem right away
This blessed child to find
Oh, news of comfort and joy
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
When they arrived in Bethlehem
And saw where the baby lay
They found Him in a manger
Where animals feed on hay
His mother Mary, kneeling
To the Lord did pray
Oh, news of comfort and joy
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day
Now sing praises to the Lord
Everyone in this place
And with true love and kindness
Embrace each other's grace
This holy time of Christmas
All others does outshine
Oh, news of comfort and joy
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born on Christmas day!
