God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (He Has Come)

Verse 1
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray

Chorus 1
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

Chorus 2 (He Has Come)
He has come for us this Jesus

He's the hope of all mankind

He has come for us the Messiah

Born to bring us life

Bridge
All the angels sing Alleluia

Jesus Christ is Born

All the angels sing Alleluia

He is Christ the Lord

Verse 2
In Bethlehem in Jewry
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn

Verse 3
From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name

Verse 4
Fear not then said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Savior
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's pow'r and might

Verse 5
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks afeeding
In tempest storms and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The blessed Babe to find

Verse 6
And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Savior lay
They found Him in a manger
Where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down
Unto the Lord did pray

Verse 7
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
