God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Songtext
von Manchester Orchestra

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
For Jesus Christ, our Savior
Was born upon this day
To save us all from Satan′s power
When we were gone astray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

From God our Heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought
The tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name


Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel
So I rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel

And when to Bethlehem they came
To see the infant lay
They found Him in a manger where
The oxen fed on hay
And His Mother Mary crying out
Unto the Lord did pray

Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy

So I rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel
Rejoice, rejoice, Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, oh, Israel
