God rest you merry gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from winter's power
When darkness takes the day
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...
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...
"Fear not," then said the angel
"Let nothing you affright
This day is born a Saviour
Of a pure virgin bright
To free all those who trust in him
From Satan's power and might"
O tidings of comfort an joy...
