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 power when we were gone astray 
O tidings of comfort and joy 

In Bethlehem of Israel this blessed babe was born 
And laid within a manger upon this blessed morn 
To which his mother Mary did take nothing then in scorn 
Tidings of comfort and joy 

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
