(traditional)



God rest ye merry gentlemen

Let nothing you dismay

For jesus christ our savior

Was born upon this 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

When unto certain shepards

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



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 under she'll replace

Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
