God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen, also known as "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen", and "God Rest You Merry People All", is an English traditional Christmas carol. The melody is in the minor mode. It was published by William B. Sandys in 1833, although the author is unknown. And God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen had different covers. In 2010, the British recording artist Annie Lennox recorded a contemporary version of the song on her Christmas album A Christmas Cornucopia. A very different contemporary version of the song was published by the Canadian rock group The Barenaked Ladies on their 2004 Christmas album Barenaked for the Holidays. The song was also covered by Bright Eyes on A Christmas Album in 2002 and by the synthpop duo Erasure on their dance-oriented 1988 Christmas EP Crackers International. Jethro Tulls 2003 The Jethro Tull Christmas Album features a jazzed-up instrumental rendition. Also covered by Ronnie James Dio, Tony Iommi, Rudy Sarzo and Simon Wright on the album We Wish You a Metal Xmas and a Headbanging New Year. The Lyrics of God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen: God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay, Remember Christ our Savior Was born on Christmas Day; To save us all from Satans 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 tiding 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! "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 Satans power and might." Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy! 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 Doth bring redeeming grace. Oh tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, Oh tidings of comfort and joy!
