God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Kirk Hopkins Version)

Drop the low E to a D

Em  
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
   Am               G/B
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
     Em              D
When we were gone astray

Chorus:
  G/B        B2          Em               D
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy!
  G/B        B2 |        Em
O tidings of comfort and joy


Repeat Song

Ending:
God rest me merry gentlemen & comfort and joy (echoey)

In Bethlehem, in Judea, this blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn.

Repeat Chorus

From God our heav'nly 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

Repeat Chorus

"Fear not, then," said the angel, "Let nothing you afright
This day is born a Saviour of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him from Satan's power and might"

Repeat Chorus

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

Repeat Chorus
