God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen (Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLaughlin)
Everybody who knows me knows I love Christmas. In addition to all the gazillion other things I could say about Christmas, it's also the one time of the year I can listen to religiously-themed music and not be too bothered by it.
I have liked BNL since I was in high school, and their harmonies on this with Sarah McL are fantastic!
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 shepherds 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.
Oh, 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.
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
Glorious now, behold him arise,
King and God and sacrifice,
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
Worship him, God most high.
Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.
[Round]
