God rest ye merry gentlemen   Let nothing you dismay   For Jesus Christ our Saviour   Was born upon this day      To save us all from Satan's power   When we were gone astray   Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy   Oh, tidings of comfort and joy      From God our Heavenly Father   A blessed Angel came   And unto certain Shepherds   Brought tidings of the same      Now that in Bethlehem was born   The Son of God by name   Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy   Oh, tidings of comfort and joy      Jesus Christ our Saviour   Was born upon this day   To save us all from Satan's power   When we were gone astray   Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy   Oh, tidings of comfort and joy
