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 Oh, tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
In Bethlehem, in Israel, This blessed babe was born And laid within a manger, Upon a Christmas morn' That 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 brother hood Each other now embrace This holy tide of Christmas All others doth deface oh oh
O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy...
