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 pow'r when we were gone astray
(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)

The shepherds came to Bethlehem where where our dear Saviour lay
They found him in a manger where oxen feed on hay
His mother Mary kneeling down unto the Lord did pray
O tidings of comfort and joy (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 others doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy (comfort and joy)
O tidings of comfort and joy
