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
