Does anybody knows this Christmas song?

Question

It started with a guitar playing along with a cello playing the first verse of "God rest ye marry gentlemen" after that it follows the rest of the song. Its more of a rock type song. Anyone know that song? I've been looking for it for more than 8 years already, please help me!!!!!

Answer 2

It's called "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen."

Read the lyrics and listen to the music here:

This page also says it's one of the oldest Christmas carols.

Answer 3

I think that it is actually a classic Christmas song.
I think it goes this way:
God rest ye marry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our savior was born on Christmas day.
To save us all from Satan's power
we were gone astray.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy.

I think that I you found a rock verison, it is probably a cover by a band.

Answer 4

It might just be called "God rest ye merry gentlemen" ;)

Lyrics

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born upon this day (or 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

In Bethlehem, in Israel,
This blessèd Babe was born
And laid within a manger
Upon this blessèd 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

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 Saviour
Of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in Him
From Satan's power and might."
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
The Son of God to find.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

And when they came to Bethlehem
Where our dear Saviour lay,
They found Him in a manger,
Where oxen feed on hay;
His Mother Mary kneeling down,
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 other doth deface.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
