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



In the town of Bethlehem

This blessed Child was born

And laid within a manger

Upon this blessed morn'

To which His mother Mary

Did nothing take in scorn



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



Now to the Lord sing praises

All you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood

Each other now embrace

This holy time of Christmas shall be of peace and grace



Oh tidings of comfort and joy

Comfort and joy

Oh tidings of comfort and joy



- Instrumental intermission -



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...
