God rest ye merry gentlemen 

Let nothing you dismay 

Remember Christ our savior 

Was born on Christmas day 

To save us all from Satan's power 

When we were gone astray 

Oh tidings of comfort and joy 



From God our heavenly father 

The 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 

Oh tidings of comfort and joy 



Fear not said the angel 

Let nothing you affright 

This day is born a savior 

Of the pure virgin bright 

To free all those who trust in him 

From Satan's power and might 

Oh tidings of comfort and joy 



And when they came to Bethlehem 

Where our dear savior lay 

They found him in the manger 

Where oxen feed on hay 

His mother Mary kneeled down 

And to the Lord did pray 

Oh tidings of comfort and joy 

Oh tidings of comfort and joy 



God rest ye merry gentlemen 

Let nothing you dismay 

Remember Christ our savior 

Was born on Christmas day
