God rest ye merry, gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

Remember Christ our Saviour

Was born on Christmas day



To save us all from Satan's power

When we were gone astray

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh 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

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy



Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy



The Shepherds at these tidings

Rejoiced much in mind

And left their flocks a feeding

In tempest storm and wind

And went to Bethlehem straight way

The blessed babe to find



Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
