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.



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.
