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
In bethlehem, in israel
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
The shepherds at those tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding
In tempest, storm, and wind
And went to bethlehem straightway
The son of god to find
O tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
