God rest ye merry gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember Christ our Saviour Was born on Christmas Day To save us all from Satan's power When we were gone astray O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy In Bethlehem, in Israel This blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger Upon this blessed morn The which His mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn 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 tiding of the same How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm, and wind And went to Bethlehem straightway The son of God to find O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
