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 O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy! In Bethlehem, in Jewry 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! 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 Doth bring redeeming grace O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy!
