Let nothing you dismay,
 Remember Christ our Savior
 Was born on Christmas day,
 To save us all from Satan's pow'r
 When we were gone astray;
 O tidings of comfort and joy,
 Comfort and joy,
 O 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:
 O tidings of comfort and joy,
 Comfort and joy,
 O tidings of comfort and joy.
 The shepherds at those tidings
 Rejoiced much in mind,
 And left their flocks a-feeding,
 In tempest, storm, and wind,
 And went to Bethlehem straightway
 This blessed babe to find:
 O tidings of comfort and joy,
 Comfort and joy,
 O tidings of comfort and joy.
 But when to Bethlehem they came,
 Whereat this infant lay
 They found him in a manger,
 Where oxen feed on hay;
 His mother Mary kneeling,
 Unto the Lord did pray:
 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
