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
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 . .

How, 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 . .

Instrumental break

Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . .

The Shepherds at these tidings
Rejoiced much in mind
And left their flocks a feeding
In tempest storm and wind
And went to Bethlehem straight way
The blessed babe to find
Oh tidings of comfort and joy
Comfort and joy
Oh tidings of comfort and joy . .
