God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay;
Remember Christ our Savior

To save us all from Satan's pow'r
When we were gone astray.

And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same,
How that in Bethlehem was born
The Son of God by name. [Refrain]

"Let nothing you affright;
This day is born a Savior
Of Virgin pure and bright,
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's pow'r and might." [Refrain]

All you within this place,
And with true love and charity
Each other now embrace;
This holy tide of Christmas
Is filled with heavn'ly grace. [Refrain]

On waiting saints of old.

The favored of the Lord.

In all the Church on earth
Through whom that wondrous mercy came,
The incarnate Savior's birth.

Again will Christ descend,
And summon all who are his own
To joys that never end.

Before the approaching morn,
For unto sin 'tis ours to die
And serve the Virgin-born.

To where the Babe was laid. [Refrain]

No gracious words we hear
Of him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.

Nor follow where he trod;
Yet in his promise we rejoice
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found:
4 That when our life of faith is done
In realms of clearer light
We may behold you as you are
In full and endless sight.
