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 Oh tidings, of comfort Oh tidings of comfort and joy From God our Heavenly Father A blessed Angel came And unto certain shepherds Who's tidings were the same How that in Bethlehem was born The Son of God by name Oh tidings, of comfort Oh tidings of comfort and joy Fear not, O fear not Let nothing you afright This day is born a Savior Of a pure virgin bright To free all those who trust in Him From Satan's power and lies Oh tidings, of comfort Oh tidings of comfort and joy Yeah The shephards at those tidings Rejoiced much in mind And left the flocks a feeding And tempest storm and wind And went to Bethlehem straight way The Son of God to find Oh tidings, of comfort Oh tidings of comfort and joy And when they came to Bethlehem Where our dear Savior lay They found Him in a manger Where oxen feed on hay His mother Mary kneeling down Unto the Lord did pray Oh tidings, of comfort 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 deface Oh tidings, of comfort Oh tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy Oh tidings of comfort and joy
