God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen - The Petersens (LIVE)

"God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" is the second song on our new Christmas album and it might be all of our favorites! Julianne's voice + Christmas music + a jazzy flair is just hard to beat. So glad you guys have been enjoying the album!!! It just charted as #3 on Billboard's bluegrass chart and we are so honored. Y'all are the best!

►LYRICS - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen
God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas 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

From God our heavenly Father
A blessed angel came
And unto certain shepherds
Brought tidings of the same
How that in Bethlehem was born
A Son of God by name

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

In Bethlehem in Israel
The blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
For which His mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn

O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas 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
