God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen/We Three Kings (Featuring Sarah Mclachlan) Lyrics

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 shephards 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

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 reign

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and Sacrifice
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Worship Him God most high

God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

A decent enough take on a couple of old Christmas tunes.
