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
