The title track from Jim Brickman's 2015 Christmas album, Comfort and Joy actually uses the holiday classic God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen as a jumping-off point. Brickman has explained that while his Comfort and Joy, a piano instrumental, musically quotes that mainstay, it is its own self-contained composition. This original sheet music edition presents a piano solo arrangement of the song, complete with artwork.

Almost all arrangements are written in the original key in which they were recorded.
