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, O tidings of comfort and joy.
From God our heavenly father The 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 Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Fear not said the angel Let nothing you affright This day is born a savior Of the pure virgin bright To free all those who trust in him From Satan’s power and might 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 others doth deface:
O tidiings of comfort and joy comfort and joy O tidiings of comfort and joy O tidiings of comfort and joy
