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
O tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem of Israel this blessed babe was born
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn
To which his mother Mary did take nothing then in scorn
Tidings of comfort and joy
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
