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 Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy From God, our heavenly Father a blessed angel came And unto certain shepherds Brought tidings, all the same How that is Bethlehem was born The son of God by name Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy The Shepherds at those tidings rejoice in much in mind And left their flocks-a-feeding in temper, storm, and wind And went to Bethlehem straight-way This blessed bay to find Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy But went to Bethlehem they came Whereat this infant lay They found him in a manger, where oxen feed on hay His mother, Mary, kneeling unto the Lord did pray Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh 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 did face Oh tidings of comfort and joy Comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
