God rest ye merry, gentlemen Let nothing you dismay Remember, Christ, our Saviour Was born upon this 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 In Bethlehem, in Jewry This blessed Babe was born And laid within a manger Upon this blessed morn The which His Mother Mary Did nothing take in scorn O 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 "Fear not then," said the Angel "Let nothing you affright This day is born a Saviour Of virtue, power, and might So frequently to banish All the friends of Satan quite" O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy The shepherds at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left their flocks a-feeding In tempest, storm and wind And went to Bethlehem straightway The blessed Babe to find O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy But when to Bethlehem they came Whereat this Infant lay They found Him in a manger Where oxen feed on hay His Mother Mary kneeling 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 For the holy tide of Christmas Is drawing nigh apace O tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy O tidings of comfort and joy
