Píseň: God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen

Interpret:
Nat King Cole
Album:
The Christmas Song
God rest ye 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 poor 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 


Fear not then said the angel, 
Let nothing you affright 
This day is born a Savior of pure virgin bright 
To free all those who trust in Him 
From Satan's 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 
All others doth deface 
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, 
Comfort and joy 
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
