Pentatonix, the popular a cappella group, put their own spin on this traditional song with their 2014 version. Their unique vocal style brings a modern touch to the song while keeping the original message of joy and hope. The group’s ability to create music using only their voices, without instruments, makes their version of this carol stand out.
The lyrics of the song encourage people to be joyful and take comfort in the message of Christmas. It talks about the good news of Jesus’ birth and the peace that comes from knowing this story. Pentatonix’s harmonies and vocal techniques make the song feel new and refreshing, even though the carol itself has been sung for hundreds of years. Their performance adds a sense of excitement and celebration, making it a popular choice during the holiday season.

God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen Lyrics by Pentatonix
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan’s pow’r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan’s pow’r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel
This blessed Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessed morn
The which His Mother Mary
Did nothing take in scorn
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 Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan’s pow’r and might.”
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
God rest ye merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas Day
To save us all from Satan’s pow’r
When we were gone astray
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
