[Verse 1]
God rest ye merry gentlemen let nothing you dismay
Remember Christ our Savior was born on Christmas day
God rest ye 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

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 2]
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

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 4]
The shepherds at those tidings rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a-feeding in tempest storms and wind
And went to Bethlehem straightway the Son of God to find

[Refrain]
O tidings of comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

[Verse 5]
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

[Refrain]
Tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy

[Outro]
This holy tide of Christmas all others doth deface
O tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy
Tidings of comfort and joy
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
