Fit For A King - God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics






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
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
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 other doth deface

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy,
O tidings of comfort and joy
Of comfort and joy
Of comfort, of comfort, comfort and joy
Comfort and joy

  11. D.... L....

    Not at all what I would expect from FFAK

  12. D.... L....

    after to listening to all their death metal music this is so very soft, can't believe its even them, but whatever, God bless you

  13. T.... A....

    It made me want to become religious (although I already was a little)

  14. B.... W....

    Amazing

  15. L.... P....

    Just a great song

  18. K.... R....

    Oh comfort...

  19. F.... F....

    I only listen to this song once every Christmas season, so it stays super special. I will not wear this song out. makes me cry every time.

  23. J.... D....

    I love this song and the band

  24. H.... W....

    Lyrics? I can't understand them all by hear cause english is not my first language. Thanks to anyone that will help!

    H.... W....

    +Hati Wolfheart here's a lyrics page, you'll just have to copy the English to a Google Translate or something http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/fitforaking/godrestyemerrygentlemen.html

    H.... W....

    Thank you a lot! I just needed the lyrics, not the translation. So link you gave me is perfect ;)

    H.... W....

    You're welcome! =)

    H.... W....

    im pretty sure that using google with the input "fit for a king lyrics" works even if u r not a native speaker.

  25. D.... K....

    this is amazing Jesus would approve ffak

    D.... K....

    Honestly, I don’t think Jesus would approve the band overall, but he would approve this song and watg

    D.... K....

    Joshua Silva-ponte why is that because they’re a metal band?

    D.... K....

    @Josh Nelson yeah good point ! I think Jesus loves metalheads as well as those listen to pop or gospel .. :-)

  26. g.... ....

    this is great, so glad they didn't make it ridiculously and unnecessarily heavy like a lot of bands do with christmas covers.

    g.... ....

    check out oh come oh com eemmanuel cover by blood thirsty, think you will like it

  27. C.... S....

    does anyone else notice how loud it gets towards the end?  I love this song but when I listen to it I have to monitor the volume so my ears don't explode

    C.... S....

    I just let it make me go deaf more immersive

  28. A.... H....

    I'm not familiar with these guys, but this is AWESOME

    A.... H....

    Hope you love them by now

  29. a.... ....

    All of these are absolutely amazing

  30. D.... D....

    I love how seriously they took this song. It's truly amazing.

  31. d.... ....

    .....Holy crap! 0-0

  32. M.... H....

    They could actually get me to go to church..

    M.... H....

    As long as you spread the word of the Lord with friends under the same roof, you make your own church that worships our Father.

  33. W.... M....

    Jars of Clay's is still my favorite version, but this one is also too good (I think it is better than Pillar's)

    W.... M....

    Nice profile pic. Can't wait for the new Red album. My favorite version of this song is by Spiritual Plague. Give it a listen if you want :)

  34. P.... T....

    These guys are picking up some serious steam. A short, but successful stint on Warped '14, and the perfection that is Slave To Nothing, my boys are on their way to the TOP.

  35. r.... h....

    This album is much better than Punk Goes Christmas

    r.... h....

    I agree in 100% ! :-)

  36. J.... ....

    Tuck has an awesome voice!

  37. j.... ....

    Digging the last minute or so. 

  38. A.... H....

    This is really really good. His voice is just perfect for this kind of thing

  39. A.... C....

    I wonder if Tuck and Ryan will lead Heaven's choir...

    A.... C....

    bro
    yes
    at least the metal heaven choir ;)

  40. U.... ....

    Take me back to when ABR covered this song! \m/

  41. C.... C....

    Why was this not called God Rest Ye Merry Djentlemen?  Missed opportunity there.  Shame shame.

    C.... C....

    I miss a lot of the old scene too man. I just saw he is legend, and that just wasn't the same as it was 8 years ago.

    C.... C....

    @Conspiracy Cat I love The Ongoing Concept, one of the newest and most unique bands SS has

    C.... C....

    @JLyons Rocker I'll give em a chance.

    C.... C....

    @JLyons Rocker I like it.  Reminds me a lot of Duck Duck Goose and Vanna.  Even catch a little Far-Less in there.  Saloon is definitely a fresh track.

    C.... C....

    no djent in the song catman.

  42. y.... ....

    instrumentally this sounds like brand new's daisy, so i absolutely love it

  43. W.... E....

    holy shit i really like the new clean singer. he's so good.

    W.... E....

    Ya dude this is flipping amazing. I love this band so much i wish they would come to Owensboro, Kentucky... There simply the best..

    W.... E....

    That's Ryan singing he does both clean and screams

  44. I.... ....

    this is pretty good.. I still think Pillar did the best version of this song, though. 

    I.... ....

    Will do, when I've got a little time.

    I.... ....

    I agree,

    I.... ....

    thanks looked them up, they are awesome.

    I.... ....

    IAMTHEJUGGERNATE looool! NO.

    I.... ....

    @victor, lol yes, pillar is way better then this version

  45. 4.... ....

    Fuck you Satan! \m/

    4.... ....

    @Resort Madara It wasn't God that came down to Earth, it was his Son. If you are going to use the Bible then use it right.

    4.... ....

    @Alexander Simmons
    About the whole 'God's body count vs Satans body count' thing.
    We Christians believe that our time on earth is not the most important thing in our lives. Our time here is merely a preparation for what follows.
    Satan, therefore, doesn't work by killing people.That is not how his evil ways present themselves, because he doesn't gain anything from doing that. Instead, Satan works by luring people away from all things Godly into a vain lifestyle, so that when they die he can claim them.
    God may have 'killed' more people in the Bible, but that does not at all mean Satan isn't infinitely worse.
    Compare (hypothetically, as you don't appear to believe in this) the termination of your life on this earth to an eternal suffering. I'd say the latter is less preferable.

    Hope that makes some sort of sense to you.

    4.... ....

    +Paul Shinen John 20:28. It was God the son, and not the father, but still God ;)

    4.... ....

    +VelaToNorma7 EMO

    4.... ....

    +VelaToNorma7 but what did those people who were killed do? They were killed for a reason

  46. m.... ....

    this song gave me the chills :)

  47. K.... ....

    I met the vocalist of this band the other day he's cool as fuck

  48. s.... ....

    Very different from what I thought I'd hear, but I really like it! It'd be kinda cool if they didn't do a transition and did all acoustic/whatever you wanna call it and have Kirby sing a verse, but I'm not FFAK. Their decision rules out anyone elses. Still bought the album and still love the cover. Just offering feedback that probably will be ignored and/or shamed upon.

    s.... ....

    I actually liked the transition very much, but I also think it would have been a great song had it not transitioned like that.

    To everyone that would "shame" you for having an opinion... Well, fuck them :p

    s.... ....

    The transition was perfect

    s.... ....

    Kirby actually does a lot of clean singing on the album Slave To Nothing

    s.... ....

    @MrHXCBASSIST I'm aware of that haha. In fact, I have a video on my channel that shows all of Kirby's clean vocals. I'm just saying that if this cover went differently, Kirby could do something really cool and sing a verse. Again, it's their cover, not mine.

    s.... ....

    It reminds me more of Thrice than Fit For A King, but that's still pretty cool! :)

  49. L.... ....

    Christmas has never sounded so beautiful.

  50. S.... U....

    I was waiting for the screams to kick in guess not

    S.... U....

    At the end there are some.

    S.... U....

    It's there at the end. Albeit subtle. 

  51. J.... M....

    daaannnnggg everybody went hard on this

  52. D.... S....

    Wow this is beautiful :O

  53. T.... B....

    Finally, music I can jam to for the holidays.

  54. t.... ....

    I'm liking this midnight clear thing :)
