"God rest ye merry gentleman" is a well known English [[Christmas carol]].

===Lyrics===

O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy, o tidings of comfort and joy

Although the grammar in this song is now archaic, placing a comma is the right place can make the meaning of this carol much clearer. The title is ''not'' "God rest ye, merry gentlemen", but "God rest ye merry, gentlemen". That is, the song is a blessing on all gentlemen, not just the merry ones. The singer requests that God would help the gathered gentlemen to remain happy.
