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.



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 tiding of the same;

How that in Bethlehem was born

The Son of God by name.



[Chorus]



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.



[Chorus
