小學英語兒歌《快樂的上帝》欣賞

　　God rest you merry, gentlemen,

　　Let nothing you dismay,

　　Remember Christ our Savior

　　Was born on Christmas day,

　　To save us all from Satan's pow'r

　　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

　　The Son of God by name:

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy,

　　O tidings of comfort and joy.

　　"Fear not," then said the angel,

　　"Let nothing you affright,

　　This day is born a Savior,

　　Of virtue, power, and might;

　　So frequently to vanquish all

　　The friends of Satan quite";

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy,

　　O tidings of comfort and joy.

　　The shepherds at those tidings

　　Rejoiced much in mind,

　　And left their flocks a-feeding,

　　In tempest, storm, and wind,

　　And went to Bethlehem straightway

　　This blessed babe to find:

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy,

　　O tidings of comfort and joy.

　　But when to Bethlehem they came,

　　Whereat this infant lay

　　They found him in a manger,

　　Where oxen feed on hay;

　　His mother Mary kneeling,

　　Unto the Lord did pray:

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy,

　　O tidings of comfort and joy.

　　Now to the Lord sing praises,

　　All you within this place,

　　And with true love and brotherhood

　　Each other now embrace;

　　This holy tide of Christmas

　　All others doth deface:

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy,

　　O tidings of comfort and joy.
