God rest ye merry, gentlemen<br />
Let nothing you dismay<br />
Remember, Christ, our Saviour<br />
Was born on Christmas day<br />
To save us all from Satan's power<br />
When we were gone astray<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy,<br />
Comfort and joy<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy<br />
<br />
In Bethlehem, in Israel,<br />
This blessed Babe was born<br />
And laid within a manger<br />
Upon this blessed morn<br />
The which His Mother Mary<br />
Did nothing take in scorn<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy,<br />
Comfort and joy<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy<br />
<br />
The shepherds at those tidings<br />
Rejoiced much in mind,<br />
And left their flocks a-feeding<br />
In tempest, storm and wind:<br />
And went to Bethlehem straightway<br />
The Son of God to find.<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy,<br />
Comfort and joy<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy<br />
<br />
And when they came to Bethlehem<br />
Where our dear Saviour lay,<br />
They found Him in a manger,<br />
Where oxen feed on hay;<br />
His Mother Mary kneeling down,<br />
Unto the Lord did pray.<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy,<br />
Comfort and joy<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy<br />
<br />
Now to the Lord sing praises,<br />
All you within this place,<br />
And with true love and brotherhood<br />
Each other now embrace;<br />
This holy tide of Christmas<br />
All other doth deface.<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy,<br />
Comfort and joy<br />
O tidings of comfort and joy<br />
