God rest you 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



Chorus

o tidings of comfort and joy

comfort and joy

o 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



Chorus
