God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
Original Key: A Minor MP3
An ambient contemporary version of the classic Christmas carol. The sound of whistling wind brings out the cold, dark quality of this minor key carol, and an eclectic group of instruments (bass, piano, guitar, synthesizers, strings, and a variety of percussion) provide an easy background to sing over.
God rest ye merry gentlemen, let nothing you dismay.
Remember Christ our Saviour was born on Christmas 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.
In Bethlehem, in Jewry, this blessed Babe was born,
and laid within a manger, upon this blessed morn,
that which His Mother Mary did nothing take in scorn.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
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.
Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
oh, tidings of comfort and joy.
