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 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," said the Angel, "Let nothing you affright This day is born a Saviour of pure or 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 [Interlude] 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 other doth deface O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy Aaah jooooooy A jooooooy We were gone astray, o tidings of comfort and joy
