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 other doth deface.
O tidings,

Darn, I cannot watch it. They want me to turn off my VPN or allow cross-tracking cookies, or...sign in. Won’t do any of them.

I do like that song, one of my favorites. I have always enjoyed a hearty version sung with gusto.

I miss caroling. When I was young, I remember actually caroling around our neighborhood. Different times.

A very Merry Christmas you you, Berlin_Freeper. Best to you and yours, and thank you for posting this.

I’ve heard there have been different interpretations of the lyrics, based on whether it reads :

God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen, with the comma after Merry, or

God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen, with the comma before Merry.

And it’s punctuated correctly, too.
