　　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 Israel,

　　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 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.

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy

　　O tidings of comfort and joy

　　"Fear not then," said the Angel,

　　"Let nothing you affright,

　　This day is born a Saviour

　　Of a pure Virgin bright,

　　To free all those who trust in Him

　　From Satan's power and might."

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy

　　O tidings of comfort and joy

　　The shepherds at those tidings

　　Rejoiced much in mind,

　　And left their flocks a-feeding

　　In tempest, storm and wind:

　　And went to Bethlehem straightway

　　The Son of God to find.

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy

　　O tidings of comfort and joy

　　And when they came to Bethlehem

　　Where our dear Saviour lay,

　　They found Him in a manger,

　　Where oxen feed on hay;

　　His Mother Mary kneeling down,

　　Unto the Lord did pray.

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy

　　O tidings of comfort and joy

　　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 other doth deface.

　　O tidings of comfort and joy,

　　Comfort and joy

　　O tidings of comfort and joy
