About The
Song
Another classic Christian Christmas hymn by the Creative Trio, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen. With lead lines by Sophia, backing harmonies by Josiah and Nathan's oohs, ahhs and other harmonies, the way this song builds to an emotional and climactic finale is simply delightful. We love the original taglines and interludes, all emphasising the story of Jesus' birth. You'll find this song on our album, Emmanuel: Unto Us A Child Is Born.
Emmanuel: Unto Us A Child Is Born
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
From God our heavenly Father (Oooh)
A blessed angel came (Ohhh, Yeah)
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same (Oooh)
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Emmanuel (Emmanuel)
Emmanuel (Emmanuel)
Oooh
Fear not then said the angel
Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's pow'r and might
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Oooh
Glory
Glory to God
Highest praises
Ohhh
Peace on earth (Peace on earth)
Goodwill to men (Goodwill to men)
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind (Whoa)
And left their flocks afeeding
In tempest storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway
The blessed Babe to find
O tidings of comfort and joy (Tidings)
Comfort and joy (Tidings)
O tidings of comfort and joy (Tidings)
Oooh
Come seek, come find
Come and meet the blessed Lord
The Christ
Whoa
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
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy (Oh Oh Yeah)
O tidings of comfort and joy
Tidings (Joy to the world)
Tidings (Oooh, Joy to the world)
Tidings (Joy joy joy)
Tidings of comfort and joy
