NOW REST YE MERRY (to the tune of God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen) Now rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay You know the sun is born again To bring us a new day To save us all from winter's power And call from far the May O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The Holly King and Ivy Queen Will reign for this Yuletide And Mistletoe with berries white Will promise us a child And fir tree crowned with star so bright This time with us will bide O tidings... Now old Saint Nick is flying Above our own roof-tree And in the dance, our horns held high We set our spirits free The Turkish Knight will live again The New Year for to see O tidings...
