- God rest you merry, gentlemen,
Let nothing you dismay,
Remember Christ our Savior
Was born on Christmas Day,
To save us all from Satan's pow'r
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 with in 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 heav'nly 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.
- 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.
