God rest you 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! 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, Comfort and joy, 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 and joy, Comfort and joy, O tidings of comfort and joy!
