Lyrics

W/ sarah mclachlan

God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
Remember christ our savior was born upon this day
To save us all from satan's 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, this blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds brought tidings 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

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Born a king on bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring, to crown him again
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to rein

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

Glorious now behold him arise
King and god and sacrifice
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Worship him, god most high

O star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy perfect light

God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay
