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      And when they came to Bethlehem   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   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      Comfort and joy, comfort and joy   Comfort and joy, comfort and joy, joy
