From all I can piece together, the title has no comma. The verse seems to place it after merry.

No Comma but according to the options there must be one. I would put it between Ye and Merry

Were it a statement, the comma would indeed go after "ye".

The correct placement of the comma is before "Gentlemen". The old English term "merry" means "mighty" or "powerful", and "rest" means "make" or "keep", so "God rest ye merry" means "God make (or keep) you powerful (or strong)".
