Hi, I'm from Chile and people here don´t know this version of Christmas song. When I was in the USA, I was so sorprised that radios played Chistmas songs during the whole month. That was the moment when I discovered this song and I loved it inmediately...I didn't know who sang it and I looked so hard in youtube and finally found it. I don't get tired of it. I love it, specially Sarah McLachlan's voice.

[@saturnstar5603]

WaffleKrisp​ I almost did that XD I thought they were saying "God rest these are Mary's gentlemen", but I didn't know for sure so I stuck with "star of wonder star of night" Which was horrible cause there is another song out there (We Three Kings of Orient Are) that has the exact same chorus out there. 

[@stevendutch4064]

[@epasternak4206]

Beautiful woman and voice indeed

[@rustyfairmount]

My understanding is that this song was first performed, unrehearsed, on-stage in Detroit when Sarah (the headline act) was DYING on stage. BNL had just left the stage, then came back out to jam with her and save her set from completely collapsing in front of thousands of fans. The song itself was a Christmas miracle for Sarah. I love Canadian musicians, and this teamwork was amazing to watch.

O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O 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. O tidings of comfort and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy! O, 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. O, 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! Worshipping God most high. O, star of wonder, star of night, Star with royal beauty bright, Westward leading, still proceeding, Guide us to thy perfect light. God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay God rest ye merry, gentlemen, let nothing you dismay

Patrick, thanks for the education on that. although I a actually mostly jewish, albeit not really religious, but you will be happy to know that despite that, I am told by most people they think I must attend church every sunday because I have never smoked,drank done drugs, and work very hard to do the right thing for the benefit of others more than not.
