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

O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy

(O tidings of comfort and joy)



Fear not then said the angel Let nothing you afright

This day is born a Saviour of a pure Virgin bright

To free all those who trust in him from Satan's power and might

O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy

(O tidings of comfort and joy)



Now to the Lord sing praises all you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood each other now embrace

This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface

O tidings of comfort and joy comfort and joy

(O tidings of comfort and joy)
