God Rest You Merry Gentlemen' (or 'God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen') is a traditional English Christmas carol. Dating back to 17th-century England, this classic Christmas song even makes an appearance in Charles Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol'.
God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
For Jesus Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this day,
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray:
O tidings of comfort and joy,
comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy.
