God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay

Remember, Christ, our Sa-aviour, Was born on Christmas day

To save us all from Satan's power, When we were gone astray

O-oh tidings of co-omfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy



From God our Heavenly Fa-ather, A blessed Angel came

And unto certain She-epherds, Brought tidings of the same

How that in Bethlehem was born, The Son of God by Name

O-oh tidings of co-omfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy



The shepherds at those ti-idings, Rejoic-ed much in mind

And left their flocks a-fee-eeding, In tempest, storm and wind

And went to Bethlehem straightway, This blessed babe to find

O-oh tidings of co-omfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy



And when to Bethlehem they came, Where our dear Saviour lay

They found Him in a manger, Where oxen feed on hay

His Mother Mary knee-eeling, Unto thy Lord did pray

O-oh tidings of co-omfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy



Now to the Lord sing prai-aises, All you within this place

And with true love and brotherhood, Each other now embrace

This holy tide of Chri-istmas, All others doth deface

O-oh tidings of co-omfort and joy, Comfort and joy

O-oh ti-idings of co-omfort and joy
