God rest ye 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.
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy!
O tidings of comfort and joy!
In Bethlehem, in Israel,
The 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!
